The Leighroi Ballet - Sign Up

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby eregthejester on Mon Jun 15, 2009 4:12 am

Ladies and gentlemen, the show is about to begin. Please turn off your cell phones and beepers and any electronics on your person. Please remain quiet throughout the performance and enjoy the show! The shifting in the chairs of hundreds of people created a low murmur in the echoing auditorium, overlaid with whispers and final comments. A little girl's voice could be heard over the entire crowd, excitedly saying, "It's starting, Mommy!" The cool air floating down from the air conditioners up high made long sleeves a must, and a light breeze floated past the first few rows as the curtains were drawn open. Lights shown on the stage, illuminating the swirling dust in various colors as a light tune was picked up by the live orchestra. Violin strings sang and hummed as a light clunking was heard on the stage floor. Gentle but strong dancers glided across the floor, their feet, though in hard shoes, the epitome of flexible beauty. Step after step blending into one glorious movement, perfectly matched to the music as these beautiful, invisibly straining dancers perform what they work six days a week to achieve.


Basically, this is just going to be a roleplay about the professional ballet world. Though, being a dancer, I actually very much dislike the ballet world, it's fun to RP. ^_^ If any of you have seen the Company, it's like that. The Leighroi Ballet is putting on a new show with a mixture of modern and more classical, though original, ballet. It will consist of the social life among the dancers in their 6-8 hours-a-day rehearsals, 6 days a week.

If any who are not dancers want to join and don't know how some things go, don't worry, just ask. I, of course, am not and have never been a professional dancer, but I dance and I know to a certain degree how it goes, though I'm definitely not an expert. But perhaps there are some pro dancers who RP on here who might be able to help in that area. Anyway, hope there are some who care to join.

Position (dancer/choreographer/director/Ballerina/Danseur):
Appearance:
Favorite Dancing Garb (optional):

You can opt to make a character background/description. I don't really care for those, since it's more creative to write your personality into the story. But, you won't need it too much anyway, because anyone who makes it into a ballet company is entirely "ALL ABOUT DANCE".

My profile:

Name: Gael Hollander
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Position: Dancer/Ballerina
Appearance: Wavy black hair, usually pulled back into a bun, of course; fair skin; light freckles; average height; slender like all the other dancers
Image
Favorite dancing garb (optional): Pink tights, various leotards, legwarmers when cold, skirts when having fun, and sometimes a shirt over her leotard. But she likes the freedom of tights and just a camisole leotard. Canvas split soles are her preferred unless wearing pointe shoes.

>Position (dancer/choreographer/director)<Dancer
>Appearance<>+<◘ Yuuki has all the traditional Japanese features. Her Jet black hair goes below her waist line, although it's usually pulled up, Her Green eye and Black Lashes make her look like the most innocent person ever. She has the smallest feet and a slender frame. Standing at only 4'8, makes her easier to lift, but a little harder to be noticed. ◘>+<
>Favorite Dancing Garb (optional)< !~!♥Since he still like dressing as the Japanese Teenager, She loves all black, Leotard and all, her leg warmers are usually a bright color or decorated, she is the only one who will dance in short shorts with leggings and leg warmers. She can be found though in mostly black.♥!~!

[ Hope it's ok, I haven't took ballet in about 3 years XD]

Name: Piotr Mikhailovich Vasilyev "Petya"
Gender: Male.
Age: 22
Position (dancer/choreographer/director): Dancer.
Appearance: Dark blond and fair skinned. Verging on six feet in height. He has a solid build, strong enough to confidently lift a partner, but doesn't appear heavy.
Favorite Dancing Garb (optional): Footless tights over a leotard as a rule. Legwarmers and shirt as necessary. Wears full sole leather shoes more from force of habit than personal choice.

(I will admit right now that I am not a dancer, but I do watch ballet, and I have done research for characters involved in dance before. Hopefully that'll be enough to keep me from making any dancing faux pas ^^;)

All accepted. I like all your profiles, this should be great! Last time I tried to do a ballet RP, I only got one person, but that's mainly because it was on such a small forum and I don't think he really knew much about ballet (but it was an interesting one regardless!). No problem about the ballet experience/knowledge matter, I think you all know enough to get by.
Betelguese, I don't even know what faux pas means, though I can take a hint, lol.
And, just one thing, Angel. The part about "no shoes unless she needs them" is fine to put there, but you might as well know, you pretty much always need them in ballet, unless you have leather feet like a contemporary choreography dancer I know... lol. I don't think I've ever seen a pro ballet dance where they went barefoot... modern dance is a different story. But I'm just letting you know, just in case.

Now I'm not as familiar with ballet terms as I used to be (obviously it's not my life), but here's a glossary in case you want to use some words while writing about them in dance class or whatever:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballet_terms

And, upon seeing the above page, I found the word I couldn't think of when I made this thread, so I'm going to edit my first post to include the positions Ballerina and Danseur, which are the principle female and male dancers in the company (like the ones who usually get solos, duets, or leads). If they are not one of those, they are usually just in group dances, important, but not so much in the spotlight. And, note, for story uses, sometimes the regular dancers will be understudies and land a solo or duet if the people who originally had the role get injured or something. I'm telling you this so you can edit your profiles if you wish.

Now, there are other situations for dancers that I don't know about- like I said, I'm not an expert. Anyway, I'm going to wait a little bit more for sign up, just in case, before I make the IC thread.

Hmmm.... haha, French has always been one of the main languages I want to learn, but I know just next to nothing. lol. I thought it might mean like "screw up" or "foul up" or something. lol. But I'll take your word for it.

Ooh, I know the sign language alphabet, but that's about it. Did a sign dance before too, but that's lyrical, not technical.

Okay, I'll make the thread. But I'm on RPG chat so I can't do it right now.

Name: blaine
Gender: female
Age: 20
Position: ballarina
Appearance: Light skin, very pale and oftenly having to use makeup to not look like a ghost on the stage. Short black hair is almost impossible to get up into a bun and many times have had to use fake hair. Her eyes are seemly too large for her face and a dark green, though nothing more special about them. Skiny to the extent of almost unhealthy, yet she finds no notice to it. At 5'2 she is rather short, though not as much as the other dancers she had seen.
Favorite Dancing Garb: laying is oftenly used for her and pointe shoes seemly never leave her feet. Long pants and leg warmers are on her feet, layered shirts and hair clips pull back the little pieces of hair she could not slick down
