A After she wakes up most mornings, Christina Clarkson spends an hour and a half covering her skin with body paint! Christina is an actress, but not an ordinary one. When she's not performing in the theatre, she works as a living statue.

Although standing very still sounds like an easy job, it's actually really tiring and you have to be in good shape. Christina has to be good at making really slow movements being a living statue isn't just about standing still!

After getting into her costume, she goes down to Covent Garden and sets up her box to stand on. Christina plays many different 'statues', but the most popular one is an ancient Greek statue. For this, she uses gold or silver paint and wears a matching drape. Usually she works for an hour at a time, then she has to take a rest.

Christina needs to have good comic timing and a great sense of humour to make people laugh. Sometimes when people are watching her, she surprises them by winking, coughing or suddenly moving. Christina says that occasionally little children are a bit scared of living statues, but eventually they all want to have their photo taken with her.
