Staging in Denver

Staging: At the beginning of my year with Up With People I spend 6 weeks in Denver,
rehearsing our show. After six weeks of hard training and rehearsing, on August 20, we performed our show the first time in front of an audience. On one
day off, I signed up for a trip to go rafting. I expected a nice cosy boat trip, being a little bit shocked when suddenly hearing the noise of the first
of nine coming up waterfalls. But well, it was an experience. Staging: At the beginning of my year with Up With People I spend 6 weeks in Denver,

Travelling with UWP
Finally, we're on the road! After 6 weeks of hard rehearsing we startet our tour and arrived in our first city, living with ohur first host family. We did CI for YMCA, working at a camp for them in horrible heat. Our first show was very successful, the audience got crazy! This is me, wearing my show costume. By the way, it took me almost six months to find out that the skirt wasn't blue... ;)))Les mer

Having nothing but a couch in the living room to sleep and a host family who was crazy about going out I didn't get more than 4 hours of sleep a night.
But it was cool, anyways.

We were hosted by a man with his 14 year old daughter. They were very nice people. One evening we went to a foodball game with an audience of 35000 people.
Although I am definitely not interested in foodball, it was an experience. We did promotion in a mall for our show: My face was painted with "Up With People"
on my forehead and "give" on one cheek and "25 cent" on the other one. We wanted to collect money for handicapped children who wouldn't be able to pay
for the tickets...Les mer

We visited the Sears tower, the highest skyscraper in the USA. My host family lived in Chicago too. Their daughter was planning to travel with UWP in July,
that's why we had a lot to talk. I wasn't in the show that city, because I was sick. But I did my first interview with an applicant in that city.Les mer

I am hosted by an elderly couple, and I do have my own bed and my own room! You can't appreciate this enough. We had our first school project, teaching
a seventh and a 8th grade. We did promotion for our show in the parade of Meadville, wearing t-shirts with our tour schedule printed on it and with our
faces painted with the date of the show. Our host Mum showed us a little lake where there were so many fish in it, that the ducks could walk on them. All
these fish were fet by the tourists and that's why they were all coming to the surface. On our day off, our host family took us on a ride on their boat.
We crossed the lake Conneaut and went to a wonderful buffet where I ate that much that I was almost sick. Later we went to an amusement park and in the
evening we visited a host family picknick. Show in Meadville was great! The audience was so energetic, that it was pure fun to perform for them.Les mer

On our travel day to Bath, we stopped at the niagara Falls. That was so impressing! In Bath, I had one of my best host families and best room made! Do
you remember having spaghetties, being blind? On the picture, it's Bob and me in Bath, New York. Oh, don't get me wrong! Bob was the karate doll, for my
host dad was a karate trainer. during our show in Almira we suddenly lost power and had to go on unplugged. But we made it!!!Les mer
