Christine as Frederick Coombs

Christine Bonansea experiments here with the moves and grooves of Frederick Willie Coombs, the phrenologist turned George Washington impersonator, and a contemporary of Norton's. A lot of great movement came out of the improvisation with the umbrella. Coombs kind of became a perverse, yet comical old man. There's soome regal posing going on, infused with sexy club dancing. Coombs is clown-like and plays to the audience.
