Well, the show is over, for the moment. It was definitely one of the cruisiest seasons I've ever worked on. Often it felt as if we did more work in our pre-show warm up! But as far as experiences go, it is by far the best I've had yet. Just being in that building has a magical effect, and to now have it on my CV is something really special. Made the whole trip to England worth while.
Of course it isn't completely over yet. There are going to be two more shows of Niobe in Luxembourg in December.
Our little disagreement with Luxembourg over the subsistence payment has been sorted out. All that formal emailing has paid off, and they have agreed to pay us the extra 60euros. It seems such a small amount to be making a fuss over, but I'm sure that I'll appreciate it.
So until December I'm treading water in London. I'm going to be doing events work through Admiral, classes whenever I can afford and doing any auditions that I can find. My next definite audition is going to be on November 9 for the English Youth Ballet. They are a company that produces full length ballets where the corp is made up of students and kids. Apparently, you have to do a lot of teaching as well as dancing soloist roles, but the pay is very good. It's an audition, I'll be there. Other prospects that I will email include Electronic Fish (a gaming company), a production called 'Shoes' and Richard Alston's company. It's going to be a week of busy emailing.
That's all the news really for this week. There is a heap of new photos on the in the web album which you should check out. Including a lot of shots of us mucking about after the final show. Hope you enjoy.
Till next week then,
