So we had our first blocking rehearsal today and it went really well. We are through 1/2 the show and going very quickly. It’s going to be a lot of quick learning ad muscle memory but I think we will all get it (even if 2 of us just got the scripts on Thursday and Friday). The thing that is going to kill me is the dancing. Anyone reading this blog who knows who I am knows I do not dance. at all. It’s nothing crazy but a lot of jump turns and hop/skip steps. In heeled character shoes. The other two girls (Lisa and Megan) both can dance very well. I just feel so behind, but they are both very helpful and encouraging. They are willing to work with me until I get it right, which is exactly what we did tonight at the hotel. But man, my feet hate me. To get to the rehearsal studio, we walk about a mile each way. It’s pointless to take a cab, so we all walk, every morning. It’s kind of fun- we get to see the city and prep ourselves for very long days. We wear full rehearsal skirts all day along with our heels. I am having a ton of fun~ I really enjoy the people I am working with ~ they are all professional and willing to work hard. I LOVE it! There are a few people from NYC and they are selling me on the idea of moving really quickly. They re all getting consistent work and they are all non equity. We shall see where I stand after the next nine weeks.
Love~ me
