student dance concert
alrighty, so i just got back from the final adjudication for the student dance concert, where everyone shows their pieces and the professors of the dance dept decide what's in and what's out. only 13 pieces showed, and they said they're accepting 10-12, and last year there were i think 16 pieces in it...so if anything gets cut, it's only going to be 1 or 2 pieces and it's going to be a major rejection. the thing working in our favor is that there are quite a few pieces with the exact same type of music (sloooow, acousticy), the exact same style of movement (lyrical-jazzy-modern) while ours is fast and thrashy (hopefully) and it's to a kind of electronic punky type music. ugh. there were parts of it that i *know* i just did soooo much worse than usual, and we also ended up being fucking 20 seconds early, so i had to repeat the ending and walk in a giant circle just to take time and then the music restarted itself right after it finished, and just AAGGGGHHHHHH. after so much behind the scenes (which, don't get me wrong, i absolutely love) stuff, it'd be really nice to perform after so long. but it's just stressful. and i feel bad. and i'm sore. and we all just really want it to get in. and i don't think i could stand the look on holly(my roommate/choreographer)'s face if it gets cut. ugh. well, it's over. nothing to do but wait.
