As busy as a Bee/Brenda!!
I just cannot believe it is February already. William Glassman – Artistic director of Ballet Central, makes our days so flowing from one rehearsal to another, that if I would not look at the clock while in the studios, I would not even realize that I would have been there for the past seven hours.
Today, after the Waltz of the Flowers rehearsal, we all gathered around Bill, listening to him, and at a certain point I started wondering about the fact that he likes to keep us at school as long as possible, I am not being negative, even though I was eager to go home, however I was thinking how sweet it is that he always talks to us in the end and finds it hard to let us go home. I admire him! I think if we would not be tired, he would keep on rehearsing for ever….. : - )
Tomorrow we are having the ‘Ballet Central Friends Preview’. I am performing Cinderella along with Nick, for the first time. I am really looking forward to it and hope it all goes well. It is also my first performance here in London!! I will also be involved with the Loading Team. As 3rd years, we are divided into groups so as to work on different areas such as helping with the costumes and front of house. In my opinion it is a very good and interesting learning experience, and a challenging part of the course.
On Tuesday, we are having another event – the Central Trust Awards. I am so glad I have been short listed for this competition; wish me luck! GOOD LUCK from me to all the other participants.
I was one of the girls Rym mentioned, who went to Scotland for the audition on the 1st of February. I got through till the end together with Rym and another five girls, and she forgot to mention how fast we had to run to catch the train afterwards!! It was a bit panicky and funny wasn’t it Rym. I really liked Fearful Symmetries. It is the kind of thing I would want to be dancing in my carrier. I like Ashley Page’s work; and the audition was such a good experience and opportunity to work with him. Having worked on Waltz of the Flowers – which is taken from his Nutcracker, has helped through the audition and the audition itself, in turn will help me through Waltz.
I also had another audition last weekend, that of Matthew Bourne. I was called back on Monday and enjoyed a three hours audition. Auditions are not scary after all; they are like free of charge workshops with well know and very talented people and directors. Laurel, Sophey Allen, Rebeca and Chelsy also got through. The piece I enjoyed most was the small choreography we did from Carmen. I love that Ballet.
So at the moment I am eagerly coming home and opening my emails to see whether I have got any news. Lets just hope for the best and God will do the rest!
I got to go… long day tomorrow good night….. be back sooon
