I just recieved a call from Graeme Murphy,
a long time friend and owner of Sydney Dance Company. It seems
that Sydney Dance Company is organising a return of "Berlin" the smash success
modern ballet that I was the inspiration for, and actor in the 80
minute show that toured Australia and New Zealand.
The return show is scheduled...
... for late 2007. Currently September and
October for Sydney and maybe some earlier dates in other Australian
states.
Whether I can manage to be there for these times I do not yet know
- between now and then I am hoping to make it to America, and more
importantly into American movies.
Personally I would love the chance to go back to Sydney Dance Company and work with
Graeme Murphy, as he was the first person to really give me a chance to
prove I could do something different. From the wrestling ring to
the Sydney Opera House stage in a ballet, and I succeeded.
Also the chance to see my friends in Sydney would be a fantastic
bonus.
As for remaining in Sydney after the show - NO WAY!
Many people's minds are too close minded, very few people in Australia would give me
the opportunity that Graeme Murphy did - even after I had proven myself in
both the ballet and in the Manthing movie. Add in the severely
limited amount of work and you come up with a less than appealing
future.
In fact the thought of moving back to Sydney to live depresses me.
I
was speaking to an Australian friend just yesterday, he said he
sometimes has nightmares that he was still back in Sydney in his
old job and would wake up in a cold sweat with his heart pounding.
Offer me a million dollars to return to Australia to never leave
again and I would laugh in your face, life is about the challenge,
enjoyment and for me experiencing new things and places. 30 years
in one country is a 'mistake' I will never make again.
Though I have no problem at all going back for a short time for a job that will help further my career, like the Sydney Dance Company return of Berlin.
