DAY 161 – May 13th 2014 (by Anton Swerkström)

DAY 161 – May 13th 2014 (by Anton Swerkström)

Greetings from LA once again! 
Life is flying by quickly here, I realized today that we have already been here for half of our whole duration which is crazy. 
Have to keep telling myself to slow down and just really soak everything in. 
And looking back at these three weeks we have done A LOT.

Right now there are many things going on for us. 
We of course have our normal schedule which includes 15 classes every week but now we have also started to work on the Matrix show more intensively and we have morning meetings every day this week. 
We also have a performance with Tony Tzars company Black Light Society tomorrow and next week we are doing a video project so have to start to prepare for that as well. 
And then we are also supposed to have some free time to see and experience LA as a city. 
Although dont get me wrong, Im not complaining, LA life is pretty freakin awesome right now.

After a morning meeting working on the Matrix show I headed to ML to take some classes. 
First I took a subing teacher called Bobby Dacones who taught a cool stagy choreo. 
He also said a lot of interesting things during class about class attitude as well as what he thinks of when choreographing. 
You can take a lot from pretty much every class here.
Second class was with Ellen Kim, and wow...she is crazy. 
Not only did she do a full out fast choreo but she is pretty full out personality wise too. 
In a good way though! 
She makes you wanna give your all and really pay attention in class. 
And of course except for being a cool teacher she is an AMAZING dancer so just watching her is inspiring.
Right after these two classes we went into our last rehearsal with Black Light Society. 
Both the boys group and the girls had run-throughs and was it soooo cool to see each others pieces. 

Tony is a genius, he really is. 
If you would see these two choreography’s right after each other you would never think they were created by the same person. 
It was a little chaotic with like 60-70 people in the studio and switching groups all the time but all in all it was a good rehearsal mostly because of how professional everyone is. 
I cant express enough gratitude and appreciation for being a part of this. 
It´s some of the best dancers in LA dancing beside me and I just feel so out of place. 
I´m trying not to let it bring me down though how incredible these guys are but instead just do my very best and not let Tony down for giving me this opportunity. 
Tomorrow we enter the stage and Im super excited. 
Now its time for a good long stretching session, some food and hopefully enough sleep. 

Talk to you guys in 8 days! 

Anton
