first tour
hi! came back from our first tour on sunday afternoon...it was a very interesting experience!! was fabulous but there were some definite new experiences! Chipping Norton was the first venue and it was seriously tiny...the theatre looked like a cottage from the front and the only way to distinguish it was the that there was a 'theatre' sign in curly writing on the front of it...otherwise I would have mistaken it for someone's house! the get in was slightly stressful, but afterwards emma and I went and had a calming cup of tea outside this tea and bookshop (their chocolate brownies were amazing!!) I also have a confession to make...I was late onstage for Overleap! That will never happen again...it's the most sickening feeling to hear the music you're supposed to be dancing to and you're in the wings!!!! anyway...our coach driver didn't come and collect us after the performance and get-out, so after a looooong eventful wait we got back to our Burford Travelodge...anyway without writing a book...we then went to Abergavenny in Wales (after getting on the coach at 7am.) the theatre was in the middle of a market place so people were watching us take the equipment out of the van and making suitably helpful 'you girls are strong!' comments..which was nice! the stage was more of a normal size compared to chipping norton which was beautiful but boxlike! anyway, I've got ballet in an hour, so must go, but I could write forever...so many stories from only 4 days away! before I go...we're performing 'Christopher Bruce's piece 'Shift' at the Linbury ROH on Saturday for the final of the Young British Dancer of the Year...so excited...rehearsing on Friday!!!! must go x
