LOUDER SOUND: "What it was like to be in the centre of that intense multi-media live show with Hawkwind on the "Space Ritual" tour?"

STACIA BLAKE: "It’s so difficult to put something like that into words, because you’re so in the moment. It was awesome, obviously. We were really lucky to have [fellow dancers] Miss Renee and Tony Carrera with us on "Space Ritual" too. They were two great talents. We were all as important as each other, in my mind. We were all cogs in the machine."

LOUDER: "Did you ever have any stage direction beforehand?"

STACIA: "What I did was totally up to me. A lot of it was interpretive dance, which was just going with the music. There were no set sequences. I had my robot routine, which always cropped up. It was basically a robot who’s given a pill and comes to life, then at the end of the sequence the pill starts to wear off and he begins to turn back into a robot and becomes frantic, because he doesn’t want to return."

SHE'S ABSOLUTELY OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD.
