London's audition: what was exciting was being able to be flowy and pretty but powerful. what was challenging was the ballet aspect of it.

Gesel's audition: what was exciting was the classical music and how it adds to the comedy aspect. what was challenging was the partner work because i find it hard to coordinate with others.

What has been challenging for you?

it has been challenging throughout joel's piece dealing with the amount of jumps and the repetition of rehearsal. I have to spend some extra time taking care of my body

How have your expectations fr this process been affirmed for challenged?

My expectations have been challenged because I did not realize how much Joel loves jumps!

part of what has been challenging throughout this piece has been the timeframe that we have to get everything done in and the length of our piece. We weren't really able to utilize our full spacing time because Joel wanted to add on to the piece. We even lost some tech time because we were focusing a little on spacing even though there was allotted time for that. We've barely done a full run through and dress rehearsal is saturday. It is very stressful.

what has been a delight is getting closer with people i never really talked to before or thought I would be friends with. We have really gotten to bond over how stressful rehearsals and tech can be when we're not getting things done as fast as we should be and its out of our control.

I have taught myself that I can still be as present as possible, do what I need to do while also not tolerating snarky commentary from the choreographer of my piece and sticking up for myself in a professional manner because even though one person is a professor and the other is a student both people are entitled to the same respect!

one thing that was challenging was finishing our dance a day before the performance. i think it threw us off because we were still trying to figure out the end. i think that there should be a cap on the amount of time that is allowed for choreography especially when a dance is at an adequate length

a delight would be the connections i have made with some people that i never really would have talked to before.

this process has helped me grow because i was able to push myself to do a very challenging long dance. there were moments where i didn't know if i was going to be able to do it every night but i was able to and pretty well and i am very surprised and proud of myself
