Allan McIntyre: My Bloody Knee Again!
Thursday, Apr 10 2003, 04:47
I'm going to start with a bit about my knee! (Yawn!) It's doing great! It feels muchos better when I'm dancing and I'm coping well in ballet. (I sound so dramatic) The NHS has finally contacted me with a slightly weird letter telling me to "wear shorts and t-shirt, to save embarrassment during the physical analysis!" I was very amused at the letter and I booked in for my "physical analysis" on Wednesday. A couple of sessions there and I'm going to be fighting fit.
It's a cultural extravaganza at the moment in the Space! As well as our Scottish, English, Croatian and (half) American students, we had lovely young chappy from Austria auditioning today! I always feel so sorry for people auditioning! They all look like they're about to explode into tears if anyone dared to speak to them. I remember my audition, so I completely understand that gut-wrenching, stomach-churning and eyes-uncontrollably-watering feeling, especially as a boy.
X-Factor, a small Edinburgh based dance company, were in for the afternoon on Thursday, primarily I'm sure to promote their latest Scottish tour, but also to give us a creative session based on the theme's running through their latest Scottich tour and to invite us all to the Byre Theatre in St. Andrews to see them perform in their latest Scottish tour. Did I mention their latest Scottish tour?
Site Specific is going well (so far!), although I'm sure by Thursday I'll be suitably freaking out. I called an extra rehearsal on Wednesday after college, only as a safety precaution you understand. I'm beginning to feel sorry for my hard working dancers. They seem to be putting up well with my constant nagging and moaning, while I push and prod them into the position. On top of my personality disorder, I'm not even going to see the debut performance on Friday.
My friend booked me in advance in December, when he bought me a ticket to see Liberty X in concert. I know it's a pretty crap reason, but I don't want him to lose out on money, and my little dancing troupers won't need me, because they're going to fantastical. So if you're in Dundee, and bored on Friday night at 8pm, Saturday at 2pm or at 4pm, come to the Space and see the extravaganza which is 'Exploring the Space!' Just a little plug there to wet your appetite.
I'm going home now to listen to my Site Specific music for the 23rd Millionth time.
Thanks Moloko!
