NEW THEATRE TOURING SHOW "BOY-ISH/GIRL-ISH"

SEPTEMBER – DECEMBER 2009
NEW THEATRE TOURING SHOW “BOY-ISH/GIRL-ISH”
After Michael’s return from Las Vegas, he performed in the new theatre touring show “BOY-ISH/GIRL-ISH”. The show toured in The Netherlands and Belgium. This time Michael performed as a dancer and actor.
BOY-ISH/GIRL-ISH


Show that we can hold our own with boys!’ ISH’s female fans were clear on that score. They wanted the girls in ISH to play a stronger part. That’s what prompted GirlISH. When the boys in ISH realized what was going on, they weren’t about to be left behind. And so BoyISH was born.


Will the ‘struggle’ between the sexes carry on, or will we understand one another at last? With the energy of hip-hop, the competitiveness of break-dance and the airiness of acrobatics, choreographer and director Marco Gerris and his cast examine these questions. BoyISH/GirlISH is a performance about strange contrasts, miscommunication and painful moments.

13/09 – 18/09/2009
INVITATION AUDITION “CIRQUE DU SOLEIL”
Michael applied through the “CIRQUE DU SOLEIL” casting webpage and received a invitation audition of Cirque Du Soleil to show his talent.
Michael got on the plane with his father to Las Vegas. After a total of 15 hours they arrived in the Hilton Hotel, 15 minutes from the “Strip”.
On day 3 in Las Vegas it was time for Michael to show what he can do best. The audition was on the stage of the Cirque Du Soleil water show “O” in the Bellagio Hotel. “The staff of Cirque Du Soleil were really kind and open” said Michael after he introduced himself.
After a few contestants were done with their audition, it was time for Michael to get on the amazing stage of “O”.
Every act has 5 minutes to perform the most difficult tricks/combinations to amaze the talent scouts of Cirque with presentation. After Michael was finished with his solo act, he got the callback for the next day!
On the callback it was time to see how the artists could follow up with dance choreography and acting. Michael was looking forward to show what he can beside juggling. Michael; “I had allot of fun with the dance choreo, cause I love to dance choreo. Most fun was the acting where you had to improvise with different topics”.
Michael’s audition results for “CIRQUE DU SOLEIL” came out positive when he heard he passed the audition.
