I have been in hibernation these past weeks if anybody has been wondering. I have decided to start making practical decisions about my life and future- v.serious indeed! I feel I have joined the rat-race a bit in London and...
Well I didn't get to do Resolution!!!!!!!!! this year. Och well. Fell disappointed but not broken hearted, they didn't have the time to actually watch any footage of my work when they made their decisions, instead they waded through mountains...
OCH! Have just read wee Allan's last blog from scoto-land and am touched, what a cutesie. (I believe he wants me to feed him when he comes to london). Am seriously excited about seeing him too, and hope him going...
Am now a resident of the big smoke once again- aw shucks! warmth, shopping, bars............................. Is nice to be back but did love my time in scotland, and miss the friendly bonny scots. People are so moody here. Note to...
Have finished school.......can no longer use my student status as an excuse......... have truly entered the world of adults. How hard is it to actually do things by yourself!? We used to have 'lives' at school, which means that you...
Bad cat, forgetting to blog. When I leave it so long I can't remember what's news and what isn't. We are now in the week of our final show- tech today, dress tomorrow, then performances thurs, fri, and sat. Am...
Has been a very busy week, but then it's always busy here. Have been feeling it more though at the moment, this is probably because I have been working til 5 in the morning at least three times a week,...
Hey! Caterina is back with avengence. Was feeling very melancholy at the end of the last term, but have had a break from school, Scotland, work, and dancing and let my hair down. I went back to London to visit...
Feel very humble at the moment. Humble and a bit selfish. It is quite incredible to me that people my age and younger are ready to die for this country's freedom. Meanwhile I make dance pieces which are pretty much...
What a really average week. This would be a perfect time to give you an overview of a recent, really average day, but that would be a very average thing to do so I think I'll leave that for another...
With the show over, all is pretty much back to normal at school (so american!), I have been working on my choreography every day, my mum returned home on her all night coach- that's dedication bless her! oh and I...
Is v. weird reading my blog a week later, have decided I don't like it very much! My mum arrived last thursday and she is staying a week or so, is nice being looked after a bit! aaaaah! At the...
Have been bad, bad, bad at forgetting my diary. I apologise profusely! (love that word). Again lots seems to have happened, but this is perhaps due to the lengthy intervals between entries. I have been busy collaborating (stalking a film...
What have I been up to? Much the same, class every day and rehearsals for our new choreography pieces in the afternoons. Am quite pleased with mine at the moment (it won't last). I asked two very strong dancers to...
Lots seems to have happened since I last wrote. Angus left us which was very sad! We performed the piece he had made for us and then said farewell, he seemed pleased with us and the effort we had put...
This week our class have been making movement for a piece Angus is devising for us. Improvising takes so much energy! During the day I am fine-full of beans, but as soon as I sit down in my chair i'm...
First day back....... (Actually I missed the first day back, because I was still in London on sunday doing a New Years intensive at The Place, Seemed like a great idea a month ago! No it was good, seriously....Monday I...
This week has been a bit stressful because our teacher/choreographer is not at all well and couldn't come in every day to rehearse us and tell us what to do! We have all been really worried, firstly about her because...
Due to some technical hitches I haven’t been able to write for a couple of weeks, so I will attempt to cram a few entries in one! Firstly the whole school is in preparation for our Christmas show, so the...
This week has been really frustrating! I had assumed that by Monday’s class my ankle would have recovered, but it hadn't and I haven't been able to do class all week. I am off to the physio today though to...
For the first time in however many years dancing i've got injured! I use the term loosely though cos i have only twisted my ankle! It looks shocking though, all blue and swollen. In my experience people tend to always...
Having time off last week really threw me, and it has taken me until now to get back into things physically. I was sooo annoyed at how much strength I seemed to have lost in such a small amount of...
This week we have had class, and a choreography session with Gill Clarke every day. I'm on my lunch break as we speak. So far it has been really interesting, but a bit of a struggle at the same time....
