Body, Language and Compereing

T. Ramaswamy
Some women are fortunate to have a good body. They keep their physique trim. Event managers spot such angels for the task of compereing. Here the skills of the artiste in every conceivable situation and position while on stage become important and useful to convey any message. The communication becomes excellent, interesting and attractive to such an extent that the compereing individual gives the impression she is the mistress of every one in the audience. That is a rare gift. That is the ability to satisfy all. That is the road to name and fame.

Such a person twists her body in all directions with limbs flying in different directions. Her mouth is widely opened, as wide as that of a hippo or rhino to exhibit even the molars and the interior of the throat.

A nasal accent is converted into an asset and becomes the hall mark of fashion. It is accompanied by expressions where some words are swallowed by intention or accident. The low tone in which such words are uttered invites greater attention from the audience who are eager to hear what she says and see what she does. Then she hugs, pats and sends flying lip to lip torpedoes designed to hit the lips and chins of the contestants on the stage one by one giving them energizer and refreshment. In between she throws her hands in different directions with gaze following.

Needless to say the audience forgets everything; feels enlightened and energized giving them a standing ovation. This motivates her to act with greater vigor. Her eye balls roll. Her gaze goes deep into others' eyes and wins the attention of the audience spontaneously. Of course, incidentally they have a fringe benefit of a full view of the costume under x- ray eyes.

There is lot of money landing in the valets of those fortunate angels of communicating arts. Offers chase them with holiday packages. They become brand ambassadors.Their families take pride in this for there is name and fame, income, influence and wealth.

Close observation reveals blinking eyes, watery lips, revealing costumes, and unearthing and blooming of all their hidden talents. The audience is satisfied. They feel they have got the money's worth for a show and time well spent. They flock to the reality shows organized by various TV channels where the comperes with a rich and varied body language culture are anchored. That is entertainment. That is reality. That is show. The TV rating goes up. After attending such shows when you ask the audience what they saw they invariably comment, "Oh! What a compere. She is the sheet anchor of the show. She shows. The show is nothing without her. He hidden talents are tantalizing. Oh, God save the show. God, save us from such shows."
