Week five and I am still going strong! Each day every company member arrives at Mystic Ballet studios to rehearse for our upcoming performances. We start the day with a lengthy ballet class to get our bodies prepared for the day ahead.
Today we had ballet class with Joseph and boy did he get us working. I certainly woke up on the right side of the bed this morning.I felt ready to take on anything. My class felt good, so I was one happy chappy :)
After an exhausting ballet class we started rehearsals on 'Marshy Ground' which is one of the pieces we will be doing in our opening season on the 16th of October. I will perform a 10min Pas de deux in this piece which is about divorce. You should take a look at me when I have finished rehearsing this one.I look a wreck! My hair is everywhere and I am physically and emotionally exhausted. I go to another place when dancing this piece. It is amazing what a choreography can do for you emotionally. I put myself into another world. I cannot explain the feeling and the rush I get from performing this piece.
We start rehearsals on stage at the end of this week.....YAY, I can't wait!When you step on that stage you are really reminded why you dance. Its fantastic.
We have the day off on Sunday, Woo!!! Sleep in :) I love this place. I have been spending my days off riding and walking around exploring this beautiful little village. I am looking forward to Winter, hoping it will snow. I have never seen so snow so I cannot wait, although I am not sure how I will handle the cold coming from sunny Australia : P
I left the studios feeling good :) although its never enough. There is always more I can bring to every piece, not only as a dancer but and an artist. I want more and more everyday...... lets see what tomorrow brings!
