Since my last blog post, I have been to Bulle in Switzerland for a gala. Once again I enjoyed talking to the other dancers very much. However, I was not quite satisfied with my performance on that day....... Last Friday, I went to see this year's Gala des Ecoles du XXIe siecle (21st Century's ballet schools gala). The biggest schools were invited to perform on the stage of Palais Garnier together with the Paris Opera Ballet School. Among the invited schools, there were: Vaganova school, Royal Ballet School, San Francisco ballet school, Hamburg ballet school, Stuttgart ballet school, Royal Danish ballet school, Canada National ballet school.... (I hope I didn't forget any!) What a show! We could admire the incredible level of the ballet students from all around the world and the different styles of each school. It was a very exceptional showcase and ended with a majestuous Defile des Ecoles. (Parade) The Forsythe ballet Herman Schmerman that I have been working on is starting this Saturday. Yesterday we did our first stage rehearsal, and it is indeed a very difficult ballet! Surprise! I am on the castings! How unbelievable...... I never thought that I would ever see my name on a casting list since a long time. For the moment, I will be performing in the role of Maurice in Forsythe's Herman Schmerman in the mixed-bill Cunningham/Forsythe on 22nd April, 30th April and 13th May. It is very technically demanding so I felt more nervous than happy when I learnt the news yesterday morning. I am of course very grateful for those (or probably the one) who believe in me for this production. I hope that I will not disappoint anyone and enjoy my moment on Palais Garnier's lengendary stage.

This post's date is wrong again. It's in November. It may 'hide' future posts by staying as the most recent post.
