[/td][/tr][/table]so tell us about yourself
my name is marietta blue marlowe, because my parents are nerds. i'm not kidding. as if the last name and the connections are bad enough, my parents thought it was cute to name me after a female physicist, marietta blau and just turn my middle name in to a color instead of her last name, the sound of someone vomitting. my parents were not happy campers when they found out that i was planning to go in to dance - they had been expecting me to take after both of them, physics professors, and weren't happy to know that instead of mathematics and physics I wanted to go in to dance.
who inspired your dance, then?
when i was four, my auntie took me with her to a dance class for young children while my parents were in the midst of another 'breakthrough' in their work. i fell in love with the dancing and i soon continued to go with auntie betsy whenever i had to be babysat by her - which, due to my parents and their workaholic nature, was quite often. when i was nine and auntie betsy moved and my parents deemed me self-sufficient, i had gone to the dance studio near my house enough that the dance instructor and i grew close, and lara would let me help out around the office in exchange for more lessons. my parents didn't find out until i was twelve, and by then it was really too late to make me stop. lara helped introduce me to a fairly well-known ballet instructor at the large dance school nearby and i started going there on a scholarship, eventually branching in to other forms of dance as well. i practically lived at the dance studio when i was fifteen and my parents were in a mood that i needed to be a physicist and i've done dance for hours each day ever since, even if we reconciled a year later when auntie betsy showed up and (somewhat) convinced them to let me be.
woah! so five years from now- where will you be?
dancing. i hope to be doing some serious ballet with the american ballet theatre or the new york city ballet. broadway is a second-best for dance, but i'd rather stick to my favourite, ballet. i was offered a spot at cirque de soliel when i was seventeen with my acrobatic dance and i'd like to continue that and i might take up their offer if i get bored for a year or so, just as something to keep in shape. i have no qualms with choreography but i'd like to wait until i'm less in my prime to do that - i want to be center stage while i still can be and when i literally cannot dance any longer i will be on the sidelines - hopefully not for a long time. i'd imagine settling down with a boyfriend or girlfriend someday but we'd have to adopt or find a surrogate if we want children soon because i am unwilling to get pregnant until i am out of my dancing prime because that is over a year of time needed to be taken off and acrobatic dance is hard on my body and would be hard on an early, undetected pregnancy.
what are some of your favourite things that aren't dance-related?
there are things outside of dance ?!?!?! kidding. hmm... i'm a big animal-lover, not to the point of vegetarianism (because, please, i am not giving up on my meaty goodness) but i have a healthy appreciation for them. i had a cat for a while as a child that my parents named oppenheimer but i called oppie because, really, who would make a four year old pronounce oppenheimer? but he was an older can and he passed away when i was eleven. hmm..i love nutella, but really, who doesn't? i like soft classical music and old rock, but i will say, with some embarrassment, that i do like some modern pop/rock and hip-hop. i don't mind physics, actually, and i was offered a scholarship to MIT but i declined and never told my parents. i don't mind the subject, but a life of it just sounds dreadfully boring. i like reading and wearing ballet shoes outside even if i shouldn't - i've bought pairs just to walk around in because i find them comfortable. oh, and i'm pretty much addicted to unsweetened ice tea.
what don't you like?
i really dislike rap music, and whenever a dance requires rap, which fortunately isn't often, i cringe a little. it's loud and brash and ugly. i hate thick-soled, unmoveable shoes. most of my dance shoes are worn or have thinner soles for dancing, so i just hate wearing shoes like those skater shoes where my feet remain straight no matter what. i dislike pork for no real reason, just find it gross. i'm not a fan of my parents, but i guess i don't really hate them. i do hate my grandfather on my mothers side, but that's because he told me that i looked like a ho in my ballet costume for the nutcracker when i was nine. nine! sitting or standing still bores me, when i used to walk oppenheimer down the street (we had a cat harness and everything, my parents were weird) i would do flips and dance moves and stuff instead of standing there. if i do have to be still, you can pretty much assume i'm thinking up dances in my head.
