Hello everyone,
I know I haven't updated my blog in soooooo long I'm terribly sorry. I've just been so busy. So I haven't updated since the third year choreography works wow. Well a lot has happened between now and then. I did end up performing for the Queen along with 52 other heads of government. That was an experience of a lifetime. I can technically only go down from here hahahaha. Once you have performed for the people who run this planet your pretty much done.
I went off to New Zealand in september to audition for the Royal New Zealand Ballet which was amazing and I got a six month contract to tour with them on their season of Angelina Ballerina which is like a little kids ballet.
We had an amazing end of year season. Serenade looked amazing even if I was bored to tears practically everyday. Especially because I was injured with my sprained toe which was just the most irritating thing to happen on the planet. Could the timing possibly be worse? Because of that stupid little toe I didn't end up being able to do the boys solo, duo and trio in Jabula. I wasn't that upset about not being able to be lead male in Serenade hahaha. But instead of the Boy's solo and stuff Justin asked Amelia and myself to do the big pas de deux. It has to be one of the most beautiful pas de deuxs in the world. It also helped that I had the best partner ever and I can't wait to watch her in Netherlands Dans Theatre. Jabula ended up beautiful and it didn't end up hurting my toe too much. Amelia and I were able to perform it every second night. Which meant we performed it on closing night when my mum and little sister came to watch.
They loved it. My sister hadn't watched me dance in years and she was impressed. They watched class earlier that day which was a fun class to watch. It was our last class with Kim, so we all dressed in outfits that Kim had made jokes about throughout the year. I went as a burrito because Kim calls me a burrito or piece of soggy lettuce when I do my ballet runs. It was such a fun class. The night before closing night Jackie and I watched Mona Lisa Smile with Julia Roberts which is just one of my favourite movies and Jackie had never seen it before. We had a cry after about me leaving which was sad. I will miss that girl very much she is very important to me. I will miss everyone very much actually, but I guess after having moved out of home at 15 and then moving away from Melbourne at 17 and now moving from Perth at 19 I should be used to good-bye's.
So I wasn't able to stay after the show I only just said my goodbye's in time. I was off to the airport to get on a plane to New Zealand. I was on the 11.50pm flight which is just death but I had my new gadget to play with. My new 15" Mac Book Pro!!!! I didn't sleep a wink the entire flight to Melbourne. I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2!!!!!!! and Razzle Dazzle which was also amazing. Once in Melbourne airpot I was very bored. I was looking around the airport to see if I could find a Dermalogica skin place. They didn't have one I was upset. When I was on my way to Wellington last time I flew through Sydney and they had one, wasted about 30 mins and got free samples and a free face wash it's amazing what a little flirting, good manners and a cheeky smile will do. I really needed one this trip I still hadn't washed off my makeup which the beautiful and amazing Talia had done for me. Not that I was wearing much, mainly cheek bones of course. God I love cheek bones. I then got on the plane to Wellington, I think I must have had a small sleep because I woke up with one of those customs cards on my tray table. Getting into Wellington I am one of the first off the plane (Yesssss I will be one of the first to get my bag and get out!!!) Get to the carousel and wait and wait and wait... Eventually sit down, legs are sore. Start to nod off but get scared that if I do nod off I will miss my bag. Bag doesn't come... Thanks New Zealand what a wonderful welcome. I give the lady my details so she can send it to me at my new address in Kelburn a suburb in Wellington. All this time Susanne the lady I am staying with has been waiting outside and I haven't been able to contact her because my phone decides to not work... I eventually get to the house after being awake for 28 hours (gross) have a shower and go off to Wellington city to meet up with all the people in Angelina. It was lovely to meet them all I'm glad I made the effort to go. I get home and go to bed after 32 hours of being awake.
Day 1 of Angelina was great, class was great and we learnt a lot in rehearsal which was good. All I need to do is set up a bank account and get a New Zealand phone so I can contact someone.
It is now 9.21pm and I'm ready for bed so I wish you all well.
