Kaycee Rice: Difference between revisions

On November 3, 2023 the ''Message In A Bottle'' musical dance movie was released and Kaycee was one of the six lead dancers. She was requested directly for the role in a late minute booking, when she was again in a roller coaster valley at that time, and didn't know anybody on the set, in the theater studio or what was ahead, but left London later after shooting and rehearsing five weeks with tons of new friends and [https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg6z04nrdAR/?img_index=2 felt happy].<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CzT6iB7Jtdb/?hl=en KC's IG The message in a bottle]</ref> She was afraid that the company treated her like an outsider. A foreign industry star, who doesn't went through the schools of visual arts, gets put strait in front of their noses just for the movie, and like common in the US, some dancers don't take it very well and will not be supportive. But the opposite happened. Cast and crew were welcoming right from the beginning, included her in many freetime activities and showed her London.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CgruWPxDSKv/?hl=de&img_index=1 KC's London with crew friends]</ref><ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgu0N-WrKkP/?hl=de&img_index=1 IG London Sightseeing]</ref> They were teasing a brilliant performance out of her, because she had not much experience to play long character parts to have about an hour stage presence. <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg6z04nrdAR/ KC's IG Set Message In A Bottle]</ref> "II-The Unspoken Narrative" and "How to catch a Ghost" were her best references. But by her skills as choreo head, expressive performer and versatile technical dancer she properly didn't stressed their patience too much in the close schedule. At the end Weirdo didn't want to leave.<ref>[https://www.tiktok.com/@kayceerice/video/7126451800470801706 KC's TT last week London]</ref> Not just because of personal sympathy, but also by experiencing a professional holyland. There were different worlds clashing together. On the one side the independent contractor, who is in a brutal cut-throat on daily basis with diversified business to gets her schedule bricked and the bills paid, struggling not to get pulled down by all these series of coolers, keeps self-motivated to run again and again against the rubber wall of marketing, stays disciplined to resist the call of "the lake", the next Netflix show, movie DVDs, the sun of her backyard or something else, and do an effective daily work quota to the next project goals and having much more office time than a normal dancer doing management, marketing, distribution and administration herself... but actually often fails. Too often! And on the other side the company dancer who is on payroll for a long time, gets less personal attention as part of the whole show, just want to have fun with each other and his job in focused business, and is much more easier. It is get first credits by fluke or industry needs by audition as a kid, declare oneself pro, do homeschooling, got graduated and pro training side-by-side with bookings as a freelancer and staying it - versus - attempted real school as kid, graduated, applied for visual art institute, got trained, graduated, applied for first job, got employed and gets first credits then. She praised how happy she was dancing 8+ hours a day and still didn't stopped and continued on the street, in a pub or a club with these guys and was knowing, next day it will be the same.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChGWftzp-JU/ IG MIAB ater work routine]</ref> Because deep in her heart she is still the five years old girl, who starts crying when she has to leave the stage. That made an huge imprint on Kaycee and she described the time as life changing experience. They didn't just respect each other, but liked each other.
