Dance with the circumstance.

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It is about learning to dance in the rain."

I am dancing in the rain. My fellow Up with People (UWP) cast members are dancing with me. We are embracing the thunder and lightning, holding hands and venturing into the storm together. The great thing about weathering the storm is we get to enjoy the rainbow and green grass when the clouds fade. 


These past couple of days have been more chaotic than an elephant stuck on main street! 100 other cast members and I are going to learn a brand new show in 5 weeks, perform it twice, and head out on the road. I think that as "CRAZY" written all over it, but it will be such a fantastic experience. Yesterday, as a cast, we learned a little bit of one song, and I'm a sucker for great choir music, and we sounded... INCREDIBLE! It gave me goosebumps, and that takes a lot!


Today, however, was much more eventful. To start the day off, we prepared our show costumes for pictures that will be previewed before the show. And we were half way told if our costumes would look decent on stage... Hopefully the director approves mine! Later on, we learned about the technical side of things; how the lights work, how the sound works, where the stage ends, etc. After lunch, things got exciting. The most nerve-racking thing so far was the vocal module: there was a "panel" of staff members waiting to hear you sing. That was one of the scariest things I've ever done! But now it's over with and I'm ready to go to bed and do it all over again tomorrow :)


Hope you are all enjoying your summer!


Much love and happiness,


Bonnie
