Did anyone else get an audition for the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony?

I did my audition on Thursday 23rd Feb, but I hadn't auditioned for the main Olympics, didn't hear about it in time. They said we would hear in three weeks, and it's already been double!! Did you just do 1 audition for the paralympics then?

It doesn't look like anyone had a recall for the paralympics, it was all done in 1 audition.

Has anyone booked accomodation yet? Im coming from Sheffield/Manchester when the ceremony is so Im gonna have to stay over..
Found a hostel for 2 nights for £68 quid but id prefer my own room in a hotel :/ (not snoby, just would like a safe room and a good nights sleep)..
I set a budget of £100 but most places are at least that per night...
Anyone had any other luck?

Have just logged on and not caught up with today's news yet. Have been talking to my very excited young 'man with rythm' who rang me at work at 5.15pm to say he had just received a casting offer - Opening Ceremony 49D - dancing in a spectacular sequence.
I am so thrilled for him (and extremely jealous). Can't believe it - especially as is recall was for acting. He did tell me he'd really hammed it up in the dance routine when it was his turn in front of the camera!
Despite my green face, I can't stop smiling!

Camping is a cheap option. There are plenty of temperary campsites setting up for the period of the games. The other option is to make friends with someone at rehersals who lives nearby

Last August, lots of people with nothing to do with TSR applied to be volunteer performers at the Olympics opening and closing ceremonies; in many cases because we had failed to get tickets for them.

In November, Beautifully Tragic, a TSR member, started a thread to see if anyone else had an audition date. From there it started to show up on Google results for other auditionees looking for any information who joined despite not being students. And since people are still waiting for news, the thread keeps growing. It is a news update/ support group/ chatty thread in one and I'd guess that many of us haven't ventured to other bits of TSR

Thanks for the congrats everyone & thanks for letting me know who else is DancerWoman

Hi there - I got my offer email yesterday!

Anyone got any ideas on what this means....

Segment 44-BEAT

Key role within spectacular Opening Ceremony sequence.

Congratulations and welcome to section 44!

No offers today then ...... can you believe it?!

I've been on my module two London Ambassador training today - really good fun and we were given a flavour of how amazing it will be in London during the games - the whole City decorated with flags and banners - the atmosphere will be electric. It feels very real now as we get closer - can't wait!

Thinking of you pointes people as I am watching the Vienna Festival Ballet performing Swan Lake. Have not found DD (tiny dancer!!!) yet but imagining what she and others must be like performing!

awwww no. keep your hopes up! 72 is apparently for the closing ceremonies. my recall audition section was 222R.

Congrats to your "man with rhythm" I am in Opening Ceremony 49D so should be seeing him in rehearsals soon.

Just looking back at my emails and I was also in 222R. Very hard to remain positive when you know people from your group are getting selected. Although I know there appears to be no logic to any of these (and my brain neeeeeeeds logic, please, let me have the logic!!!!).

Gah!

Ooooo I'm getting rather nervous , pointe shoes and costume messurments fitting soon plus iv twanged my hamstring PAIN :-(
Hope it's ok for the first rehearsal

I have an offer for props !! As I was worried i'd heard nothing despite being the first on here to interview for it and others getting offers. I e-mailed to check.
It seems I should have got an e-mail but didn't and deadline for my acceptance was tomorrow !!!.

I sent the acceptance back asap in case it dissappeared into the ether somewhere, can't believe that this does mean I will actually be doing something at the ceremonies !!
