So if you haven't heard yet, I got the best part in the entire play. I get to be Dorcas! Haha I am so excited about that because she gets to be such a flirt and play it up the entire play. My brother-in-law says that name is going to haunt me the rest of my life because he's not ever going to let "Dorcas" die. Oh I just love brothers :)
We just completed our first full week of rehearsals. I had to overcome my paralyzing fear of lifts really fast because within just 1 minute of choreography there are 8 lifts. Holy smokes. Some really crazy ones too including the "BONZAI!!!!" I feel like I've been man-handled. Oh wait, I have been. The number we just finished is the social dance scene and it has so many lifts and tricks! I've been grabbed, flipped, dangled upside down, fallen, nearly dropped, thrown and more. My arms are bruised and my rib cage is so sore from being grabbed and squeezed from so many different directions and fingers accidently jammed between my ribs (oh nelly that one hurts the worst!) and I've pinched a nerve in one of my arms (ouch!).
But let me tell you, this show is going to be incredible!! It is very high-energy the entire time. The trick and lifts just get bigger and bigger as the dancing goes on. Seriously if the choreography for this show doesn't win a 'Zoni I will be shocked (like a Tony but for Arizona Theatre).
Even though I will most likely look like an abuse victim by the end of this show, it is totally worth it :) It is sooooo much fun. I love my cast. My director/choreographer is amazing and all around this is just a great experience for me.
Anyways! I'll try and take pictures of rehearsals so you can have a sneak peek as to all of this amazing-ness.
In the mean time, you can buy tickets to see my show :)
