Day Five: LecDem
We were able to do a LecDem at an elementary school this morning. That was a lot of fun! Small kids are the best to perform for because of their laughter! We then had a master class by Pat for the advanced high school dance class. Then we ate at a great little bread and soup place called Turtle Bread. After that I spent some time on the bus when I should have been taking a nap but actually worked on my laptop. After we were finished with classes at the high school, we headed to Uptown and walked around to do window shopping. With two other dancers, I ate at Jimmy Johns, a great little sandwich shop, considered to be the world's greatest... That was it. Dancers wanted an early night for sleep. We were back with host families at 8pm. Of course I stayed up til 1am talking with my host family. This place is amazing. The neighborhood is so close as friends! They had a children's movie night in one of the garages. Awesome!

Stagehands have astonishing learning curves. It's not unusual for stage crews to have trucks full of unknown scenery arrive at a theatre on Monday, which we need to assemble and understand to open a show we've never seen before... on Tuesday night.
Most people, if confronted with such a task, would flatly say it was impossible.
Stagehands find ways to make it possible. We learn quickly, we draw upon years of experience, skills and training, and (all too often) we drink lots of coffee and work all night.
I've had one longstanding handicap in my career as a stagehand. I don't drink coffee.
