Full Dress Rehearsal and the drama backstage
the stuff that happens at rehearsals are very amusing, once you are out of the stressful situation and can look back and laugh.
watching a dance show onstage, you'd never expect all these pretty girls to be swearing their heads off in the changing room, a flurry of strapless bras, g-strings and blindingly shiny shimmer tights while rummaging through their piles of costumes. like *bleep* where's my top for this dance?! *bleep* i cant find my shoes! i doing have *bleep*ing time to do my hair the way you need it to be for the dance, sorry. 5 minute call already?! you've got to be *bleep*ing joking. i *bleep*ed up that dance just now. there's no *bleep*ing way i am going to do that dance for the show. i just cant do it!
and then they run off to stage swearing down the corridor. classic.
then of course you have people like me who make mistakes, not once, but twice at the same point of the dance (because we had 2 runs of the full programme today) while standing one person next to the centre of the front row. and not like a little mistake. i was doing a turn when everyone else was facing front. what a twat!
oh and get this. the Boar came and took a 'publicity shoot' for the paper that is coming out on tuesday and the photographer made us form the shape of Great Britain so that they could take an aerial shot. in the first place, what does the shape of Great Britain have to do with the Tap Show? all of us thought they were joking but then the guy whipped out a map of the UK and started putting people in place, yelling 'i need an anglesea here!... kent, move down a bit. norfolk? norfolk? i need people in norfolk! liverpool you are looking a bit sparse. can people in the midlands shuffle to the north please!'
and guess what? the article isnt even about the Tap Show. it's for an article they are doing on the population of Britain. WHAT?!?
