Void
Has several meanings - And one day there shall be more I am sure.
Official Skating wise Explanation from Skate Guv:
"Oh gawd that's a tough one to define, better ask christopher dean !!"
It stems from me and sharps watching old documentary about T&D where we pee'd ourselves laughing at the following quote from Chris, which he said, erm, very dramatically "....and suddenly, we found ourselves in this...hole...this huge, big VOID !! We could do anything we wanted to, our only limits were our own imagination !! It's like floating free, it's like being in outer space !!"
"So we use the term "Voidy" to describe anything in skating which is a drama fest ala Dean. You know the sort of thing, angst expressions, hands outstretch, weird programs with weird music, skaters who clearly think they are skating as ar-TEESTES and creating an arty masterpiece...it's all "voidy"
PS: If non skating wise you are in a void. Then you have either been overcome by the porniness of someone or drunk LOL. Also having a hangover can put you in a void too. Basically a trance, yes?

Does anybody know who Skate Guv and Sharps are? Are they FSUniverse users? When did this historic documentary viewing take place?

The viewing took place a long time ago.
Kurt Browning said it on the air once during commentary. And Dick Button either said it or something else from FSU once--I don't remember that one as well. Originally Posted by casken

Less laugh-worthy, but definitely in a void, I love this recent performance by Laetitia Hubert!

She's still doing her own thing (alas, without those huge
but inconsistent 
: triple jumps)!!

More sensory overload from Holiday on Ice...
It's the 1970s
a time when bright lemon yellow was a considered neutral and the inspiration for the men of the HOI Corps de Balett was Ron Jeremy...
Holiday on Ice (Blue Division) - In Rhythm Opening Number (1977)
Once you get over all that glorious yellow and feathers and the too-tight pantsuits
and the rather curious music juxtaposition, you'll see a nicely executed choreographic creation from Stephanie Andros. 
...and something (just a little) more sane for you all, nice solo from
Ricky Inglesi at the end of the number:
Holiday on Ice (Blue Division) - Spectrum Rock (1973)
Featured skaters: Ricky Inglesi and Mitsuko Funakoshi

Classic K+O...
Angelika Krylova + Oleg Ovsiannikov show us that not only do they own Malaguena, but Carmen as well.
Malaguena (The Art of Russian Skating, 1998)
Carmen - Nagano Olympics 1998, Free Dance
Technically a competition piece, but this one is such a great performance.

On this footage there is some commentary from Toller, and at the end, a partial clip from a Canadian show.

Thank you, Doris!
I hadn't seen that performance by Robert Wagenhoffer.
It dates from not too long before his untimely passing.
sbanet, that performance of Pagliacci you posted was certainly one the first of that iconic program.
Toller was a specially invited guest at the EX.Last edited by skatesindreams; 07-13-2012 at 04:14 PM.
