It's hard to believe that a week ago we were putting on Beatrice and Benedict. It feels more like a year ago, to be honest. I am so amazed at how much happens in one week. 7 days, that's it, but it's just packed full of stuff. Friday was a full day of Romeo and Juliet. It was our tech dress rehearsal, and I have to say, it is all coming together quite smoothly. Everything feels great. I still have some memorizing to get done for the chorus parts, but otherwise, everyone is doing amazing. The leads are absoluetly fantastic. I wish you all could come see it. The story of Romeo and Juliet is classic, and timeless. It seriously gets me everytime. I can't even imagine going through what they went through. It's the ultimate love story, and you start to realize that this story of star crossed lovers is all around us. Movies use this plot all the time. It's just that good. We never get sick of watching the passions of true love. Love in which you would die for the other person. Love that goes beyond all evil. It's absolutely beautiful. And, Charles Gounod, the composer, wrote some of the most stunning opera music I have ever heard. His themes are breathtaking. Every theme is like sunshine, awww, I get tingles just thinking about it. And when you add the orchestra, it's as if the world has stopped for a moment in time, and you are totally in the now. NO WHERE ELSE, just here!
Because the schedule has been different this week, I have had more time to process the last 4 works. Or at least to start the process of processing. (if that makes any sense) The voice teachers are gone, and there are not more acting or dance classes, it's just tech rehearsals for the opera's. It is still really busy, and long days, but the pace is different. It's almost helping to prepare us to rejoin the real world. Life has still been going on outside our bubble, and somehow we are going to have to pop the bubble of NUOVA. It's been amazing, but our time is coming to a close. IT's completely bittersweet. I don't want it to end, but at the same time, I need a break. I love the process, but i also need some time to live with this new understanding of myself. There has been some major self development going on in the last 4 weeks, and I am genuinly interested to see how I reenter normality. Because what I have been living in, is anything but normal. However, I feel completely blessed that I have been able to embark on this journey. So much more awareness of myself. Awareness is not the first step, AWARENESS IS THE CHANGE. Once you are aware of something, it is already starting to change. Becuase i am more aware of myself i am constantly changing and settling, and changing and settling. Nothing is constant. And when things are changing, you can't judge it. You CANNOT judge while you are trying something. You can judge yourself, or analyse yourself, after you have tried something, or after something has changed. The left brain should not be involved in trying something new, or following your instincts. As Kim has said many time, "TRY, CORRECT, AND CONTINUE, CORRECT AND CONTINUE" If you are judging yourself while you try something, you will not be able to fully engage in the potential of this new thing, and in the end you will never know this things full potential. (TOO many potentials) I hope that was as clear as murky water.
Lots more to talk about, but now it's time for a good sleep.
Over and out!!
