I live in Paris! (No, I didn't before. It was NEAR Paris.)
Gaët and I finally found an apartment. So there are boxes everywhere and we don't have all the furnitures we need yet but we're officially colocataires since last week and we love it (also, 15 minutes of subway to go to school is soooo much better than more than an hour of three different kinds of public transportation). I would invite you all to ( Read more... ) -
All I want for Christmas...
...is here. Because Bryce arrived yesterday. Gaët tried to convince me I should kiss him in front of everyone at the airport and I must admit it was very tempting but...no, seriously, not the best way to let my father know. I'm not sure we managed to make the hug look friendly enough, though. But since my father didn't say anything, either he hasn' ( Read more... ) -
I'm in love with them!
Not REALLY but... Kamel Ouali once said he was in love with all his dancers (male and female: he said "danseurs et danseuses"). It's that kind of love.
Nathalie Fauquette and Golan Yosef in one of the last scenes of Kamel Ouali's Dracula musical:
This is my own video, and as far as I know the only one that stays fixed on the dancers. I have ( Read more... ) -
I'm 19 now
Of course it doesn't change anything, but my birthday party is worth mentioning because Gaët decided we had to "make up for last year" (when I was at Rachel's, so far away from my French friends). She invited people from our old high school, from our old dance course and from our current dance school. And Clémence was there, too (she and my mother ( Read more... ) -
Entre [strike]l'amour et son contraire[/strike] admiration et jalousie
I intended to make this post last Sunday [most of the text was written three days ago, so "last Sunday" means October 2d] and then...I don't know, I just didn't find the time ( Read more... ) -
"Aussi vrai qu'un rêve" ("As true as a dream" - song lyrics)
Tomorrow premieres Kamel Ouali's new musical - the one with dancers in the lead roles (which means ballet scenes that I'm bound to love) and still as many songs as the others. I can't wait to see it, even if none of my favorite dancers is in it (I maintain that Valentin Vossenat should have played Dracula but I don't even know if he auditioned). I' ( Read more... ) -
Dream, step 1: check
My best friend and I are now officially students at the Académie Internationale de la Danse.
(Actually, it's now called "École du Spectacle - Espace Lauriston" but everyone still says "A.I.D." out of habit.)
We mostly have dance classes (contemporay, ballet, hip-hop, jazz), of course, but also a special "musicals" class (preparing for the small ( Read more... ) -
Wish me luck?
On Monday I'll "audition" for the Académie Internationale de la Danse (no need to translate, is there?). I say "audition" with quotation marks because it's actually just an evaluation day - going to classes so the teachers can decide in which of the four levels I should be, and then a talk with the headmistress. And Gaëtane will be there too, of ( Read more... )
