My summer break included....Fiddler on the Roof, Fiddler on the Roof AND Fiddler on the roof.
So, like I mentioned in my last post, I got an ensemble role in the amazing musical Fiddler on the roof. I'm SO HAPPY I didn't say no to this part, I had a marvelous time! Even though I didn't have any lines or solos I learned so much, not to mention discipline and to act more professional on a working place even though you're a kid. Everybody in the ensemble was so so passionated on what they were doing on stage and backstage that it turned out to be an awesome show! We got nominated for a huge musical price and the critics loved us. It felt amazing to be a part of it.
I played Rebecca, one of the 4 childs to the hatmaker in the musical. It was an annoying little girl that wanted attention from her big sisters all the time, so it was easy as hell to improvise her feelings about everything, I'm used to be playing that part at home haha! I got to act with my old friends Vicky, Tove and Linn again! And I also got to meet so many new amazing people.
Here's Linn, Vicky, Tove and Me hanging out in the dressing room backstage!
After the summer break I started a new school...but that didn't work out in the beginning...
Right in the rehearsals of Fiddler I started..hmm..I don't know what to call it in English. In sweden we call it Gymnasium. That's the school you continue studying after High school. On the gymnasium you're lucky enough to choose a special subject and education, often the thing you want to work with when you grow up. Of course, I choose musical in a big Gymnasium school I Malmö. In the beggining it felt like HELL YES, I met some awesome friends there (that I truly miss everyday) and everything worked out fine. After a while it started feeling wrong, the education felt too...well, ok I'll admit...easy. I didn't have a fun time, only with my friends.
So, I took a deep breath and emailed one of the best schools in Sweden when it comes to the entertainment business. It's called Lunds Dans och Musikal (translated lunds dance and musical). The principal read and wanted to meet me because she thought I had good scores from the audition I went too last summer. ( Yes, I was there but I didn't want to go to the school back then). I got to meet my class and follow them around on their classes for a whole day and It felt so good. So yes, I started Lunds dans och Musikal and it feels awesome! The teachers are awesome and we have all the amazing subject on the day schedule that prepare you to be a musical artist. Well, there's a dance class too that only concentrate on the dancing but I wanted to have everything. I have of couse: Math, Swedish, English and History BUT the rest of the subjects are ballet, jazz, street, acting classes, choir, ensemble choir, individual singing lessons, master class singing lessons (with a teacher from Broadway, how cool is that?!) and lots of more awesome stuffs.
I think I have 156413 other things to tell you guys but this will be it for now. Take care!
