June 2003 Archives
I'm sorry for not blogging recently, but I've been a busy little bee! Last weekend, I went to Edinburgh to see Paul Taylor with Libby again, and another tutor, Dave. I was truly expecting brilliant things, as the only work I've seen of his, was a video. Unfortunately, changing the set, costumes and music three times and giving it three different names, just doesn't constitute a good performance for me!
Note to Paul: Variety is the spice of life!!!
The last couple of weeks have been ultra focussing on the end of year show!
Now that we're in production week, the nerves are at boiling point!
This isn't helped by the fact I broke my pinky toe on Thursday!
I spent most of the Thursday in A&E, watching ER (how ironic!!)
It's all strapped up, and I'm popping the painkillers like a little Trojan! My new best friend at the end of class' and rehearsals is an ice pack!
I'm still looking forward to the show; this may be because my friends from home are coming up to support me! (Both in the audience and later as I try to stand up at the bar!) I haven't seen them for so long, and it'll be nice to catch up.
Next week, is a big one at The Space. For the last week of term, the whole school will be involved in creating dance video. The week will be directed by award winning filmmaker Katrina McPherson. It gives everyone the chance to work together, both as choreographers and as dancers.
After the film project, it's homeward bound, but only for a few weeks, as I'm going to be part of a project in London for two and half weeks.
It'll be directed and choreographed by Catherine Seymour, a tutor at The Space. Cat's taking part too, as is ex-Space student Emma McInally, alongside 3 other professional dancers! I'm looking forward to my first real taste of life as a dancer!
Will I survive? Who can say, but I'll be sure to let you know how I get on!
This’ll also be the last time I see Cat for a while, as she travels of to pastures new, so it’ll be a very sad occasion, saying goodbye to, not only my roomy, but my friend!
I shall go now! To cry like a little girl!
