Is it worth trying out for Legally Blonde? I LOVE the musical - and could dance it well - but its super belty and they want a contemporary musical theatre song. IS Part of Your World - contemporary enough? Am I Bye Bye Birdie Material - or do I need to belt for that too? Do I belt Part of Your World like a high school teenager would? Should I attempt to take on all the ballerinas as they attempt to grab Chris Wheeldon's attention at the Met Opera's CARMEN dancer auditions? They say they want contemporary dancers for that - which would be - but Chris Wheeldon is the most revered BALLET choreographer working and alive today - so every out of work ballerina will be there hoping he falls in love with them and hires them for that or his ballet company. I've never been kept at the Met once, so do I try for that, or do I pretend I can tap dance and audition for yet another summer stock season that is doing Crazy for You? (Your voice is great - do you tap dance? GAH!)
Is it worth auditioning for Brigadoon? It's a ballet operatic musical but they've allowed only 2 hours for singers and two hours for dancers which usually means non-equities don't get seen. So do I wait around for a show I'd be great in but probably wont get seen for - or do I wait in line for - High School Musical 2 - which will see me - but I can't sing so its ultimately - pointless? (Unless Shapay has magically turned into an operatic soprano - hey it could happen...)
Oh the trials and tribulations of this life.
Also - I bought my domain name for my website, and a program that is supposed to make website building super easy, but alas, I seem to be having trouble logging into the program. How can it be super easy if I can't even login to it? BLARGHLEBOTS.
Well - focusing on the now - today I went to class - saw SUNSHINE CLEANERS with Reinking - really good movie - then - went to class - then - came home and watched dancing with the stars - where Gilles makes me swoon - and want to samba - that man can shake his hips like to other. The only thing incredibly noteworthy that happened today was - there is this boy in my contemporary class whom we shall call Bob. The teacher seems to LOVE everything Bob does - he can do no wrong. IMHO - Bob is good - but not godlike - and I'm always getting jealous of how everyone oooooohs and aaaaaaaahs over every single arm movement he does. Apparently because he can do quadruple pirouettes he is phenomenal. Now every morning I see guys do octuple pirouettes or more in prettier positions - so I'm not impressed - but for the contemporary crowd - Bob is tops. So it's been my goal to out turn and out jump him for some time. Usually this results in rather embarassing results. Me falling and knocking a bunch of people down - etc...my temper gets the best of me. But TODAY - TODAY I matched all of Bob's turns and jumps - AND not only that - I REVERSED the combination and didn't knock anyone down in the process! MWHAHAHAHA! And the teacher noticed and gave me praise. Whilst coveting Bob's praise is a sin according to the Bible (thank you current reading material), and I suppose I feel guilty, it sure did feel good get noticed. Take that Bob! Disclaimer - Bob is a really sweet guy - and a hard worker - and is talented - its mainly my jealousy complex coming out to play and say hello.
Accompanying me in my enterprise were the sexy Italians. Hehehehehehe - BELLO!
