SLOW DOWN!

Wow, i have been so busy! I am back in Nottingham and its my first rest in a long time.

I was with New English Contemporary Ballet since March, been workin extremely hard with them to build and create a strong team of dancers and put together a wonderful selection of ballets.

We finished touring Mid-June and literally the next day i was down in London auditioning for a part in a new feature film. StreetDance. its the worlds first ever 3D dance movie , so it sounded too good to pass up.

After my short trip to London, i headed up to Glasgow, to meet some very dear and special friends, i brought with me fellow dancer from New English Contemporary Ballet, Kyle Davey.

Although i was very much looking forward to going back to Glasgow, as its such an amazing City,
i had work to do, four days rehearsal with Kyle do get a piece i choreographed in 2008 back into shape ready for filming so it could be made into a Film.

All a very exciting process. I love working infront of the camera!

The song i use is by a wonderful artist called Jerry Burns. Her wonderful songs have been the soundtrack to many a wonderful film :

Cruel Intentions - This Love (1999)

Crush - Angel (2001)

Walking & Talking - Wings Of Desire

- La Turbulence Des Fluides (Chaos and Desire) (2007)

to name a few! She is a wonderful woman, just magical. She is such a dear friend of mine and thats what made this project such a wonderful experience.

On board to direct was David Council, a wonderful film maker who had also cast Jerry in his film Art Therapy, and they are very dear friends, i had my dear friend Kyle performing in the film with me and of course working with jerry was a dream.

So we created a family and thats why tis project is special. I have seen a preliminary screening of the film and its is breathtakingly beautful. All the elements came together perfectly and we have achieved and creatd something beautiful.

The hope is to have the premiere in both Glasgow and Edinburgh, so watch this space!

Shortly after tha, i traveled to dublin to have a joint photoshoot with Karin Pritzel of Pritzel Photography. It was a hectic day! Lots of changes and different locastions, but the weather was stunning and we did a lot of it in the sea and on the beach , andi finally got a little colour!

I had a day off before i started working with my old dance school again at The Donna Whitten Dance Studio. As always it was an absolute pleasure! They worked extremely hard and it was nice to try and help progress these students. And they are very funny girls and can always make me smile!

I came back to Nottingham shortly after that for a little rest! I still have a lot to go, i will be joining New English Contemporary Ballet again to go on tour to the Ukraine , which will be so exciting and on returning to the Uk, i will fly over to cork to be a Guest Principal Dancer in Cork City Ballet's Nutcracker at the Cork Opera House in November.

All this with a another set of Ballet Master Classes at The Donna Whitten Dance School, shooting another Short Film with David Council and jerry Burns, possibly being in StreetDance the 3D movie, another photoshoot and a family reunion inbetween!

Im exhausted just thinking about it!
