Schedule day 5 | All: transfer from Vevey to Bern | Technicians: set up | Dancers: class and rehearsal

This morning, after breakfast, we made our way from Vevey to the capital of Switzerland, Bern.
It was a one hour and 15 minutes bus journey, and I am sorry to tell you that I can not describe the landscape, because I was sleeping! That is what often happens with us dancers. We are constantly traveling by bus from city to city, so we all have our books and music, but after a few minutes of reading or listening we all fall asleep! I guess dancing is more tiring than it looks!

But sometimes, a few of us remain awake and today was Glenn’s turn to not sleep! I think too many Starbucks’ coffees do that to you. From the picture you can see he was a bit hyper! We arrived in Bern just before midday and we had a few hours to walk around and see the beautiful city. Around 5 o’clock we headed to the theatre for a class and rehearsal of the second cast that will be performing tomorrow. That includes me performing Ella, a solo by Robert Battle that is an actual killer! It is incredible how much you can sweat in a 5min solo!
Tomorrow we have two shows for school children and the first one is really early (10h00), so for this reason, after rehearsals, we came back to the hotel for dinner and for an early night!

Greetings from Bern, Nicole
