What can I say ? Everyone was fantastic, but extra special thanks
and praise must first of all go to the dancers who gave a superb performance on both
nights:
To highlight their own personal achievement in the "run up" to the
performance, it should be pointed out that for almost a whole month they travelled at
least a half marathon every day of their six day a week rehearsal - sometimes
more. We know this as they were all instructed to wear pedometers for the duration.
It's also worth noting that pedometers only count the number of steps - not the
extremely athletic and exhausting jumps that the dance included - sometimes the land
itself creates the equivalent of 6 "Gs" on one leg.
Neville's lovely wife Julie was always on hand to assist with rehearsals and
also took over whenever Neville was unable to attend himself.
Ritchie did an excellent job with the lighting and the breathtaking sound was
brought in especially by RMB. Dance City were the perfect hosts and Film Nova managed to project the performance onto the
walls almost immediately after the show - how fast a turnaround do you want from a film
company ? Unsurprisingly, everyone's looking forward to seeing the film in it's
finished state.
Judging by the standing ovation of Friday's audience, there will hopefully be
more than enough reason for Neville to accept the opportunity of touring the piece - maybe
you'll be lucky enough to have it appear at a venue near you, too.
The Music CD and the Film of the dance will soon be available - register you
interest from here to be informed of their availability.
