Part of the show involves Halas using her contortionism and juggling skills to keep aloft custom-made prop pizzas.
Adventurous Calgarians are limbering up for some pretty unusual training this weekend.
They’re preparing to get bent way out of shape at a coaching session with veteran contortionist Samantha Halas.
Halas is in Calgary to perform her one-woman show Deep Dish.
It’s based party on her own experiences working as a server while growing up in Winnipeg.
Part of the show involves Halas using her contortionism and juggling skills to keep aloft custom-made prop pizzas.
“My mom made them all from felt,” Halas said.
Along with a chance to showcase her skills, Deep Dish also tells a comedic story.
“It’s about a character who’s a waitress — not a very good waitress — (and) her journey of her basically finding herself.” Halas said.
