Treading Water

Great fun at the Memphis audition today. My favorite part was when the casting director from Telsey & Co ever so politely told us that they absolutely were not looking for anyone... no vacancies on the cast. Union rules are great in that they create opportunities for dancers to be regularly seen by choreographers and CDs, but it still never ceases to be rogue to go into an audition that cannot result in an immediate job.

And to think, I had been lulled into complacency by getting every other job I had ever applied for in my short little life. Humility, thy breeding ground is professional performing arts!

Got to be the subject of a GREAT headshot-taking experience with the wonderfully talented Laura Volpacchio today. Can't wait to throw myself back into auditions with some new branding!

Also for the record, May was a month of giving into my instincts and riding the upsanddowns rollercoaster, but no more. June shall be the month of structure, in preparation for July - the month of to be determined - and August, the month of Africa.

I did a practice round for June by getting right up at 9am and going straight to Total Body Workout at the gym under me. I forgot how much positive energy one can get from working out, though my little joints are a tad irritated with me.  You win some, you lose some!

Off to do some more chemistry lesson plans and go to bed!
