Graduation sickness

So I've been busy graduating, now I am a free lancer, the world is my oyster, standing on the shoulder of giants, the world is my stage, the world is at my feet. And all the other clishe's!

But with a 1st class degree in Contemporary dance, surely one of the most unemployable subject in the world, I'm kind of stuck for options and to be honest a little anxious about my future.

I'm in a lucky position where I have options to continue dancing with well known artists who I both like and admire.

But to be honest, I just dont feel like dancing at the moment, after 3 years hard slog, having to obey by the constraints set by the school, being so tired I barely remember half of my student life and trying to create a name for myself (I realize the irony of me being anonymous).

I feel kinda, wiped. This cant be case surely, having working so hard to be in the position I am now? Do I want to spend the rest of my life tired and saw? I'm happy to be part of other peoples artistic visions, but at some stage I would like to create my own as well.

Maybe that's what I feel like doing, doing what I want to do, create what I want to create!

...

Ah I have no money.

So After my early life crisis I've come to the conclusion that I'm young, only 21 in fact. There a lot to learn about the inner workings of companies and artists, the management side of things, the touring, the networking.

Then perhaps I'll be in a better position to create my own ideas, which by the way, I have many of!

So its a months holiday then back to the grill again. I'm sure in that time I'll be ready to dance again.
