The Stage!

Just a short one today! Very exciting news.  I jumped on stage today for the first time, NOT in the show yet, but at least it's a start.  It is very different as I'm used to training in the Artistic tent.  Tomorrow is the dress rehearsal for Vienna, so today was light check and training back on stage.  Normally we don't train out on stage but today was an exception!  The lighting goes from overhead normal lighting to stage lighting, which is crazy.  I actually prefer to jump on stage than in the artistic tent because on stage it seems much more focused.  I am consistently improving and making mistakes in the name of learning.  I'll be on stage for my first premiere on Thursday as well.  The show will be packed full and it should be a great night!!  Another change is that for the show I'll be in the poor costume and on the other side...  Not the Bourgeois (Rich) burgundy costume! Should be fun! 

Oh and something else we just learned...  If you travel to Europe with a Magic Bullet, you need to get a power adapter/converter, unless you want a hotel room filled with smoke.  Just saying...


Ok, I guess we can tell you all about our trip to the aquarium, House of the Sea, (www.haus-des-meeres.at/en).  It was in a 10 story building, where the bottom floor is a mix of animals, second and third are all snakes, 4th-6th is a huge Rainforest with free roaming monkeys and birds and 6th-8th is a huge tank with sharks, a green sea-turtle, and lots of cool fish, the 9th is a panoramic balcony overlooking the city.  This is all in the center of the city, and it looks like an apartment building.

Here are a few pictures that we took of the animals.  The monkeys, birds, and some tortoises weren't caged or anything, just free to roam the building!!!
