HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY!
I hope everyone's had a fun and funny day and hasn't had any terribly dramatic April Fool's jokes played on them ;)
Today after technique class we had our first audition. What is SADC you ask? Well as most of you know, because I so obnoxiously talk about it all the time these days (sorry!), NYU's dance program is only three years long. When you get to your third year, the class is referred to as the Second Avenue Dance Company, or SADC and you no longer keep the schedule that the first and second years do. Every day you have a "company" technique class at 1:30 (which only includes third year BFAs and second year MFAs) and then after class is over at 3 (3:15? I'm actually not sure!) the rest of the afternoon depends on which pieces you're in. Along with student works and the faculty choreographer for the year, four guest choreographers come in and set pieces on us. Next year we have an AMAZING lineup of professional choreographers coming in to set work! Along with Cherylyn, the faculty choreographer and the chair of the dance department, pieces will be set by Sean Curran, Kate Weare, Sidney Skybetter (NYU alum) and Aszure Barton. It's safe to say that we're excited and ready to get started!! :)
Especially after our first audition this morning. We had Sean Curran and I absolutely LOVED it! He was awesome and full of such a fun energy, his movement flowed really nicely and felt really great to dance. Even though it was just the first audition and we won't even find out which piece(s) we're in until after our last one in September, today made look forward to next year even more :)
It's going to be an incredible year filled with awesome experiences :)
Today, the future and its opportunities make me happy :)
