Hello there,
And so begins the new year!
2014 will be exciting for West Australian Ballet with the world premier performance of Radio & Juliet. The show begins on the 7th February at the Quarry Amphitheater in Perth. The music for the performance has been written by the highly acclaimed and well-known English band, Radiohead. Shows to follow in the season include classics such as Gisselle, La Fille Mal Gardee and Snow White.
The public relations and marketing staff are busy with the preparations for Radio & Juliet. Copy for season and show programs and brochures are being created, websites and social media sites updated, posters and banners advertising the season are being dispersed throughout the city and media releases are being drafted.
Having spent a day writing constantly I thought it would be fitting to write some more and create a new blog post! To begin the day I found myself in a 'stop/start'mode of writing. I felt the necessity to reword and fix every word or sentence I typed. After about two hours of this I stopped. I began to just write. What I wanted and how I wanted, deciding to fix mistakes later. This has worked extremely well for me. I found that being to pedantic reduced the flow of my creative thinking. I believe this issue I have is a result of learning journalistic style. I will have to consider this and try leave my journalistic hat at the West Australian Ballets door step!
Oh my! I now have but only eight days left of my intern-ship to complete. Enjoy your experience! The time goes so quickly!

Hi Eve,
I have been keeping up with your blog posts, as I find them really interesting! I am a huge fan and patron of ballets, thus the behind-the-scenes insight into the marketing and public relations department proved wholly exciting.
Nothing to do with pr here, but the Radio & Juliet ballet has certainly caught my attention! Radiohead and ballet together? I can totally get on this.
Back to pr and writing - like you, I used to correct myself as I type, but found it too distracting and time-consuming. Now I write everything at a go, and then edit. It really helps with the thought-process and the fluidity of the write-up!
Hope you will have a great and enriching remaining eight days!
