Cat walk but blindfolded!? Wow, I feel for you, but I see it was rather a positive experience than a negative one. You could indeed have more freedom, regarding the awkward facial expressions (if not blindfolded, do you struggle with that? (I am a musician and usually, when I play I have my facial expression too, something I dont think about while performing but if I look back to some videos I dont feel comfortable with what I see 🤣 )
I am glad you didn't fall and all was good. The best part, meeting other people, such a great feeling when we have a joint performance with others (each of us in our fields). :))
