Wow what a crazy ride this Rehearsal process for Pilobolus has been. We were on a weird 
schedule as it was with weeks of nothing in between just a couple of days of rehearsal, so our bodies 
could never get used to the rigorous athletic partnering. But we have been in rehearsal now for the last 2 weeks straight. That is only because one of our guys quit our cast. So we had to find a new guy to relace him. Now don't be mad at Mark for leaving, I never was, and if you still want to see him, he is now in the Broadway Nat'l Tour of WICKED!!!! So we were fine with him leaving, even his wife, though she is sad that they can't be together in Germany, but we're all trying to make up for that.

His name is Roberto. Actually the cool thing is his twin brother is in the main company of Pilobolus, and he actually is in Momix, which if you don't know, was started by one of the founders of Pilobolus, so it's kind of considered to be the sister company. So He already understood all the weird body vocabulary, and he came into our put-in
rehearsal already knowing most of his choreography from watching the video, which was just incredibly awesome!! We love him, and he already fits right in. In fact he is kind of a crazy dance improver like me, and we're always playing off of each other and creating "fierce" dance moves for us to do. Oh and he also calls me "OSO", which means bear in spanish, because of my big flat feet that when I step gives me one large footprint. So I call him Monkey clown. It works.

It works.Well and just like that we had our last day of rehearsal yesterday. And let me just say that I am so happy about that. The last 4 days have been really tough, cause we have had to change choreography almost each time we ran it with our horribly cut music. Even up to yesterday we added new moves and lifts, and throws, and at this point you just get so freakin FRUSTRATED that you just can't rehearse what you've already set. but we got thru it and we move on. On top of that we had costume issues. 
Yeah ummm, ... they just weren't what we expected at all. Again some changes had to be made. And we got thru it. AT this point we're just like Dude Lets just got to Germany. And so

Right now I am on the bus back to philly from New York, and have all day to run errands and pack, and not just for Germany but try and pack as much of my apt as I can. Dude I am so awesomely excited, I"M GOING TO GERMANY!! WOOOOOHHOOOOOO!!!!
Oh and here's some other really cool blessing from God, Last week I got called into the office And the rehearsal director asked if I would be interested in being in the real Satelite Company for this next year! AWESOME. This second company of Pilobolus only travels internationally, so I would get to see the world. I'm sorry but God is awesome! and I am so glad that he had me get fired from EVITA. And yesterday I got a call from another theater that wants me to do there show in the fall, so now comes the hard part of negotiating and saying no. I never thought I would be in a place where so many different people would want me, and I woud have to choose. It's just a testament to How God is using me, and what he is doing to redeem my life. Hopefully I won't have to pick and choose, pray for me that I could do both the musical and the 2company.
Well next stop...... DUSSELDORF
