I Have A Job!!!!!!!

This will probably be the shortest post every, but also one of the best. I am now employed by the State Ballet of Georgia!!!!

Oliver (the other English boy who was coming) and I did the class this morning and afterward we had a meeting with Nina. One of the living legends of the ballet world. Surprisingly, she is one of the loveliest ladies I have met. She said she couldn't offer us a Soloist contract at this stage, but where happy to have us as corps de ballet. I don't quite know where they got this idea of soloist from but corps de ballet more than I had dared to dream of. She went on to say that they need us for a whole heap of performances and we would be working very hard, which is fine by me. After telling us a couple of details about class, performances and tours (Japan in February, March next year), she said she would get Tornike to do up our contracts. I can hardly believe it. I have a whole year of dancing work ahead of me.

After the meeting we went straight into our first rehearsal, Giselle. We are going to be performing this in October. It is simple stuff, but good fun to do. Then we then went to a Don Quixote rehearsal where we just watched and learnt, and a quick rehearsal for Siberia to Moscow. As you can see we are going to be very busy.

Or accommodation is quite nice. It is a series of apartments that have just been renovated in the same building as the Georgian Ballet School. I'm told we will be getting an Internet connection in the next week or so which will make my communications a bit more regular.

They are expecting a number of other international dancers in the next couple of weeks. They are getting two American, a Spaniard and Egyptian guys, plus two Australian girls. They are all going to be staying at the same place.

Oh, I need to tell you some nuts and bolts stuff. Georgia is GMT +4 which is 6 hours behind Australian Eastern Standard. The company works from Tuesday to Sunday. I can't send texts or make calls from my phone yet, (receiving is still ok) but will be getting a new SIM card soon.

I could write ssssoooo much more, but I have to leave now to see if I can find some food.

Success as last,

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark11:24
