Good Morning from Miami!
This is the second week of rehearsal at Royal Caribbean for the Sequins and Feathers Show! Mama, we aint at Disney no mo! This is show is so sexy and exciting...its a level of entertainment that I have NEVER seen before...its sooooo ENTERTAINING! How ironic! The show isn't anything to truly ponder over- like a Broadway play or show... but its exciting and mesmerizing to watch and I'm soooooo excited and proud to be a part of it! Granted I've done 3 Broadway shows and many many musicals but this is just different....its not better or worse, its just different. And I welcome the difference. I'm so happy to be in a place where I can learn new things about entertainment and people and myself. I'm happy to be challenged but most importantly to have fun and share joy. Is that selfish? But thats where I wanna be and how I want to live...and make bank! I dont want to be scraping pennies anymore or managing my dollars to get by, I want to LIVE! And since I've been in Miami already, I have been LIVINNNNNG! From rehearsals to going out and dancing with my fairy friends at the CLUBS and meeting handsome Black people and then last night going to the water to frolicking under the moon. And I see that the energy that disturbed me from the Cubans in Miami (the microaggressions) from 2022 is very different. Maybe because I have changed...but either way, I am excited to see how my world is opening up for me with grace. I'm trusting the process and remaining patient.
My main drag on every contract has been how i deal with the personalities in the cast. MTown was traumatic because I was young and there were so many STRONG DIVA personalities. I didnt feel safe. LK was challenging because I was entering into an already established Lion's Den of sorts-lol Harmony was rough because I didnt connect with the creatives, the STORY or the cast and was injured physically so I didnt feel safe in that sense. and DCL was lovely but in the dressing room, I was surrounded by repulsive complaining mean girls- truly just a few bad apples have an effect. I learned about protecting my energy in a STRONG FRIENDLY WAY.
I think with each contract, I've learned something about the sociology and psychology people and myself, my own limits strengths and weakness and I've gathered a lot of information in my years. I'm still open. I'm excited about RCCL. Most of the entertainers aren't American so I welcome that cultural change! And the talent is TOP TIER! The dancers are dancing DOWN and serving body tea, its overwhelming and the singers are soooo GOOOD and polished. This feels like an iron sharpens iron type of thing. And I have no one to compare to- I just need to bring my best and learn from the rest....oooh I like that:
Bring my best and learn from the rest!
