Slip on your character shoes.
Not your normal ones. Character shoes pinch your toes, they click and clack on the wooden floor and the high heels make you stand straighter.
Your character shoes allow you to dance, because they were made to move even if you weren’t.
They come with a dress, make-up and different hair. They’re your disguise.
Shining at the camera, they help you make people believe in your character.
Theirs are the only soles you show the audience.
But when rehearsals are finished, the show’s over and you pull off your character shoes, you still remember everything.
