First Pansori Lesson

I am very excited.
I had my first Pansori class today with Oh Min Ah, of the National Changgeuk Theater Of Korea.  I met her for the first time this morning at The National Theatre on the slopes of green Namsan Mountain.  She is probably one of the most adorable Korean women I have met. And [...]

COMP – Day One

I fell out of bed. For me, the morning literally came in with a crash. I didn’t think it was very funny, but apparently it is.
Last night we had the first meeting for the Crossing Of Movement Project, which is being held as part of the Modern Dance Festival (MoDaFe) in Seoul.
It is hard not [...]

My Zenlike Future

So… I am in.
I have 2 months of freedom left before I embark on 6 or 7 months of (hopefully) rewarding hell.
I am prepared for it, I have purchased the books I need to read, I am readying my body for the arduous process, and my goal is to look amazing in a g-string BEFORE [...]

Electronic Lifestyle

My computer is back… and so am I – to the electronic lifestyle to which I have become accustomed.
I am going to the beach tomorrow with Lauren. Even though I am not allowed to say her name out-loud, I think it is ok for me to type.
Speaking of which – this keyboard is not suiting [...]

Numbers

It’s been 20 days since my last post, and it is 20 days until I leave this country for that of my birth.
I am pretty bad at this game, but, as always, I will endeavour to do better.
On another topic, why does Firefox hate my Australian spelling lifestyle?
I have 6 more performances of The [...]

Battle Scar

I have unfortunately acquired the most ridiculous performance-related injury known to man.
Whilst completing the violently joyous mardi gras-inspired dance break in the finale of ‘The Little Dragon’, I happened to connect my left thumbnail with the underside of my left eyebrow (the bit NOT covered in hair).
The pain indicated that there was something wrong almost immediately, but it [...]

Life is so hard…

I was at work at 8.30 this morning, putting on makeup for an 11.30 show. I entertained close to 250 small children in identical blue and red – and bored most of their teachers. I ate lunch with my director and his superior in a small restaurant, run by a woman who looks like a [...]

Sunday Morning

I just found out that I can make a farting noise with the concave space between my shoulder and my neck.
An annoying way to disturb sleeping persons.
LAST DAY!!! TWO SHOWS!!!
ahem

Visit Gwangju!

Visit Gwangju: Icicle City of Death and Incompetence.
Here, you can stay at the beautiful Regent Tourist Hotel where the hot-water boiler will only be turned on for the morning shower, and the heater will only be activated at 10 pm, even though the temperature outside is below freezing.
“Is that Snow”
“YES, that’s snow”
“Does this mean they [...]

I’m Staying…

In Korea.
Just in case you have been under a rock and just decided to check this journal at the exact moment I decide to crawl out from under my rock.
I don’t feel so well… I’m going back to bed.
The End.
