Zuid-Afrika Reisweblog. Dag 2, door Ana Campos en Albert Garrell

Schedule day 2 | Dancers: 1/2 day off + Class by Robyn Ross and spacing "Special SP!R!T" with technicians | Technicians : set up in theatre

How much a day can mean...

Another sunrise christens the city; Paradise. We started the day going to the city center. Being surrounded by South African art, food, and culture, the local markets' welcomed us with open arms. The markets' lives were thriving with a labyrinth of African Culture. If there's one thing that should not be missed, its the feelings and emotions that the South African youth stirred within us, through their ability to hang onto their traditional culture and dances, despite the many trials and tribulations brought upon them. Their charm, charisma, and the smiles on their faces conquered our hearts. Such an experience can only be seen with your own eyes.

In the afternoon we started our first rehearsals. First we had our daily class led by repetitor Robyn Ross. We did our regular warming-up and practiced our techniques. Afterwards, we spend one hour of "spacing" the SP!R!T programme in the Baxter Theatre. During this hour we run the program and calculate the space we have on stage. Each theatre has different dimensions, so in order to perform well we need to do this. Also, our technical crew fine-tunes their light- and soundsettings.

Tomorrow, the first official performances will take place. We are really looking forward to it.

Regards, Ana Campos en Albert Garrell
