Goodbye April. Please do not fly away May!
I am on break at the moment and have decided to start my dairy, however I think I will finish writing it tonight. I have so many things to say since I have not written for a while. We are sooo busy, its real fun ( but tiring at the same time), so when I have some free time I have to catch up on so many thins ( this is one of them) and sometimes it takes a bit long- so I do apologize if I have kept you waiting.
First thing I would like to mention is the musical theater week which we are having at the moment. We are working with Patricia Merrin on chorus Line and Phantom of the opera. She has really inspired me with her carrier and we are all enjoying working with her- doing something different from what we are normally used to. Today we have learnt ‘One’ from Chorus Line which we will be assessed on, on Friday. It is a crash course as on can see ( I personally would have loved to have another week of learning routines of that kind), it is quick and maximum concentration is required, but everyone sees to be enjoying what we are doing and full attention is guaranteed. We are also having our singing assessments on Friday and I will be singing ‘If my friends could see me now’ from the Sweet Charity musical!
Along with all of this, we also have another show on Sunday. We will be performing at Bracknell - a stage which is smaller than the Linbury Theater. We do not know yet what we will be performing, however everyone is ready to do any piece they would be called into.
For the last two shows I have performed three numbers – adding Choice with Capriole Suite and Cinderella. I have really enjoyed the last two performances especially dancing on the Linbury stage again. It was a bit stressful that day as we knew that there where important people watching, and by that I do not mean that it was a more important show than any of the other as to me once someone has bought the ticket and has left home to come and watch us, than that person in important, however at the Linbury theater there were lots of people who have an eye for dance and thus we had to make better impressions. This week we have the toughest week we have had so far, as we started early on Monday morning and will be finishing the week Sunday at around 12:30 (when we get back from the theater), then the following day we keep on going till the following Saturday and then comes the day we would all have been waiting for – Sunday, and we have a Bank holiday!!!!!!! That is very generous and we really appreciate it. I think we could all benefit from a day off to work on our dissertations!
I know I have other things that I could have elaborated and spoke of but tonight I am going to do less talking as I have to work a bit more on my dissertation as tomorrow I have a session with tutor Louise.
Last but not least I want to say a Big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my friend Sarah Mansueto and my amazing and adorable baby brother Jacob (he is not a baby any more he’s going to be 15 now, but to me he is still my little brother – not in height though cause he grew taller than me!!!!!!) --- Miss you ;)
