A Year Inside The Australian Ballet: On The Road, Episode 3

In my experience and the experience of my friends that frequently tour, life on the road is far from glamorous. It basically breaks down to the first week of live performances, where you get to perform in front of live audiences for the first time and all those hours of rehearsals actually gain meaning with the interaction of the audience, and the last week, where you get to see the end quickly approaching. Everything in between is a lot of hard work. 

In the third episode of A Year Inside The Australian Ballet they take a look at life on the road.
