The Brighton Fringe 2010 – Are You Sitting (and Standing) Comfortably?
For those of you whove been trapped in a crevasse up in the Sussex Downs for the last week or so, youve missed the beginning of a rather large, explosive event. No we dont mean the stage show that is our current post-general election antics – although the majority of the country is eagerly waiting for an encore of some description we mean the eclectic Brighton Fringe Festival is now under way.
Although Brighton is a constant source of energy and excitement, the Fringe adds something unique and special to the city every year, and has for some time now. Brighton and Hove has presented Fringe frivolities since the Brighton Festivals creation way back in 1967. Over the past 43 years, its possessed a number of aliases, such as Umbrella and The Open, but was finally named the Brighton Festival Fringe in 2002.
Brighton Festival Fringe is one of the largest, progressive open access arts festival in the world, and the largest in the England. Its sole aim has always been to stimulate, educate and entertain people, with over 700 events at more than 240 venues, which means you dont need to be an eminent artist to fully savour the Fringe.
However, what it does mean for you and the other 170,000 revellers watching the festivals offerings is youll be either sitting down or standing for long periods of time. We know that this is all part of the occasion, of course; sitting on an old, cold bench, or leaning against the bar as you sip fine ale and consume even finer comedy; this is what epitomises the true essence of the Fringe. But, what about your poor old posture?
Poor posture is something that develops over time, but definitely a contributing factor to everyday aches and pains can be standing or sitting for long periods watching the numerous free events around Brighton, says Jo Blood, Director of Posture People, who specialise in ergonomic furniture and reducing the effects of bad posture and back pain. Have you ever found yourself standing up watching a concert and starting to shift from foot to foot? This fidget factor is the bodys way of saying that it would like to move, which really means that its not very comfortable.
Here are some quick and easy tips from Posture People to ensure youre sitting and standing comfortably, as well as correctly:
Keep your feet on the ground
We fully appreciate this is a very hard thing to accomplish, especially when youre watching a lively performance. However, do try to keep your feet flat on the floor when still, and if possible, dont cross your legs as this can potentially cut off circulation and cause hip problems.
You kneed to know this
Its highly unlikely the festival organisers will be supplying ergonomic chairs, so if you have a choice try to select a chair high enough so that your knees are slightly lower than your hips. This will keep your hip sockets open, ensuring blood circulation to your feet and legs. It will also help prevent the cramping of your leg muscles.
Its all about bums on seats!
But, make sure your bum has the right one. Choose one that is firm and flat, not hollow or bucket shaped. This is the best type to give you solid support for your pelvis and the rest of your body. If you suffer from persistent back or posture problems, then we certainly recommend you take a pillow with you for support. Or better still a sitting wedge.
Making a stand
We guarantee that youll be involved in a standing ovation at some point over the next few weeks, but if youre standing for long periods of time then try to keep the majority of your weight spread evenly over your foot as opposed to just on the heels or toes. Your arms should hang down naturally too. You should also watch out for leaning down onto one hip, as well as pulling your shoulders back too.
The last thing that we want is for aches and pains to dull your enjoyment of the performance, so hopefully these tips will help everyone enjoy the Festival that little bit more. continues Jo.
Posture People will also be enjoying the Fringe, and if we spot anyone not sitting or standing correctly, we may just have a little word in your ear! For more information visit www.posturepeople.co.uk
