<br/>"Are you only intrested in the theater, Emerald?" Inquired a Nazadi girl who all but danced up too her.  In the way of many professional artists, she bubled over with energy from the spring in her step (and coresponding bounce in her bossom) to living fire in her ruby eyes.  She wore red loincloth, halter, ballet slippers, and sling bag, along with some copper and gold ankle and wrist bangles.<br/><br/>"Our program offers access to 22 coaches, seven from the disciplines of dance, seven theater, seven music, and one a unique specialist.   We three are simultaniously your guides and your gatekeepers.  It is our job, by assesig your physical health, psychological potential, and overall creative and cognative abilities, to either open these doors too you or sadly send you away to make room for people better prepared to benefit us all from what we have to offer.<br/><br/>"In all honesty, the hardest room to get through is Jalani's.  Jalani is a healer, a nurse, a beautiful, compasionate person.  Her gateway is full of machienes that look for 10,000 obscure, essoteric reasons that you shouldn't be here, each and every one of them out of our hands and over our heads.  And you can't argue with a machiene.<br/><br/>"If she sends you through to me and Brandi we're going to dance.  It doesn't matter if you're not a dancer.  Brandi and I aren't intrested in how good a dancer you are, we're intrested in how good a performer you are, how good a student you are, how you respod to pressure, stuff like that.  If you make it to callback number four, the agency is serious enough about you to start paying you for auditions, and before much loger we'll start setting you up with the coaches.  It won't be much longer then before you're out of our hands.
