Chapter 2

Jan 10, 2009 01:10

Christmas, huh? Never really interested me, aside from the extra work at the academy. I'd be rehearsing for The Nutcracker this time of year. I wonder if there's a recording to be found in this world. Don't suppose anyone's heard of it.

nutcracker, other talents, he does ballet too

Nutcracker, huh? Never got too familiar with ballet, personally, but o'course I know about a classic like that. Mind if I ask your role?

penbeforesword January 10 2009, 06:30:05 UTC

It's a classic in this world too? I was usually cast as Prince Koklyush, the Sugar Plum Fairy's partner.

'Course, it's a Christmas staple where I'm from. I think even people who've never seen it know the music.

Huh... that's pretty impressive, I gotta say. You did a lot of ballet back home?

penbeforesword January 10 2009, 06:53:50 UTC

Interesting. I didn't realize it even existed in other worlds...maybe there is a recording here somewhere.

I attended a performing arts academy in the ballet program, so yes.

"The Nutcracker?"

penbeforesword January 10 2009, 06:48:36 UTC

It's a ballet. We performed it every year for this holiday.

optimistickey January 10 2009, 06:58:22 UTC

Oh, I've never heard of that before. There's lots of Christmas stuff I've never even heard of before!

Seems like you'd need a lot of people to do a ballet here, though.

penbeforesword January 10 2009, 07:02:33 UTC

For an entire ballet, yes. For certain dances, not so much.

I remember there were tryouts for that, but I never could have gotten a part.

What's it like, Fakir?

penbeforesword January 10 2009, 07:04:48 UTC

You would like it. The pas de deux between Clara and the Prince is particularly beautiful.

onceuponaduck January 10 2009, 07:11:22 UTC

Really? I wish I could have seen the rehearsals.

You know, I kind of miss dancing.

penbeforesword January 10 2009, 07:34:23 UTC

You could always practice.

The Nutcracker! Oh, I love the Nutcracker! I've heard it so many times!

penbeforesword January 10 2009, 07:11:58 UTC

I admit, it's one of the few performances that rarely gets tiring for me.

unluckymelody January 10 2009, 07:15:03 UTC

My boyfriend Hamel plays magical music, and the Nutcracker is one of his favorites. I really like Tchaikovsky too.

penbeforesword January 10 2009, 19:45:42 UTC

...Magical music, huh? That'd make an interesting story.

Tchaikovsky is a favorite of mine as well.

If you want to practice, I'm sure there's a dance studio we can clear out somewhere.

penbeforesword January 11 2009, 02:54:20 UTC

Practice would do me well, I think. I'll need to brush up on the Prince's role.
