A little bit excited.

I don't normally post twice in the same day, but I couldn't help it. I'm just bursting with this news.

This morning I received a phone call. It was unexpected. It was exciting. The call was from the Artistic Director of one of Australia's top dance companies. We had a lovely chat and I've been invited to meet with them and sit in on rehearsals of their latest work. This will all begin in April.

Yesterday I went and visited the company just to leave my details and see if it was possible to make an appointment to see the AD's assistant. On the same day, by chance, I met in a corridor, the Artistic Director of another of Australia's internationally recognised dance companies. We had a lovely chat and I was invited to make an appointment to show my folio and pop in and watch rehearsals.

On Monday I made a phone call to yet another of Australia's famed dance companies and got put right through to it's Artistic Director. We had a lovely chat and I was invited to show my folio and meet with the choreographers of said company and discuss the possibility of work with them in 2007.

The companies are:

The Australian Ballet
Bangara Dance Theatre
Sydney Dance Company

So I'm just a little bit excited. Three years ago when trying to make contact with the same companies, I couldn't seem to get past the secretaries. Three in three days! I'm actually quite calm, which is nice. It's a beginning, but a pretty auspicious one I think.
