Dance Days
Holy Shit.
My body hurts like crazy!
So today was an interesting day. Got up and chilled with Calvin for a bit who decided to call in sick from work. Its always nice. Then skyped with Jay-T for a bit before actually deciding to get ready for my audition.
At the audition, we did this combination to Fireworks by Katy Perry "underwater" that had every style of dance imaginable in it. I wasn't ready for that. My body wasn't warm. And it was very physically demanding! But in the end I worked it out. When it came time to video taping, i messed up both times of course, but at least i kept my energy up!
This audition was for some Las Vegas TV show. I still don't really know too much about it, but decided to go for fun.
Now interestingly at the audition. I think two people were trying to make a pass at me. This one chick, and this one guy. I'm kinda naive when it comes to these situations, but i find it hilarious. Both of them found me on facebook after. What in the hell? lol.
Anywho, two reviews for Kiss Me Kate came out today. both nice, one with some negative, but all truth. and im ok with that. but i got some nice mentions in both:
"Supporting role standouts include Hook’s Gene Kelly-esque Paul"-StageSceneLA
"The choreographers, Keenon Hooks and Marisa Martinez, deserve much credit for their spectacular results, and Hooks extra credit for playing Paul, the man who leads the second-act song and dance number "Too Darn Hot!" with plenty of personal heat." - Daily Breeze
being compared to Gene Kelly is a huge honor!
anywho, Spelling Bee rehearsals are going well. I can't wait to put up this show. Its going to be a great one! I have a wonderful cast!!!
so i have realized something i believe. I wonder if i really want to be in a relationship right now. I think part of what stemmed for me to open up yesterday was due to recent events, but may also have some to do with the roomie. Like i said a few entries before, our friendship makes me forget that I am single. But lately his attention has been elsewhere, especially since him and suzanne have going on whatever that is. So i've been by myself a lot more or left out a lot more. It reminds me that I am.
That doesn't necessarily mean that i need a relationship, but it may have been a starter for me to want to maybe try one again. Iono...
but yeah, knew he'd stay out again even though he said he'd be home. all she has to do is ask. whipped! lol. i just don't wanna hear it when he's tired or annoyed at her for not getting what she wants if he doesn't wanna give it to her. They both do it to themselves.
though i wish i could just have some fun. i've been feening for it lately. but alas, that just goes with a topic also a few entries ago.
but yeah, so i got a callback from that audition today! I get to come back friday and need to have the routine perfected. I shall try my best. I emailed my agent to tell him about it, hoping he's cool with it. A: because he didn't send me to it, and i'm new with this whole agent thing so iono if thats not ok, and B: because its a dance gig and im supposed to be focused on my theatre career right now. Its what both he and I want.
meh, we shall see. i think im done for now. not tired, but done writing, maybe i'll catch up on glee.
