Billy Elliot the Forum

An autobiography following his long progressions to his role as Billy, interrupted by some real
life challenges which very well might destroy many kids on such a road of discovery.

It's written almost entirely in the first person from notes he compiled throughout his ordeal as young aspiring dancer and actor.

You will love his book and as a Billy fan, it really should be required reading. Just a personal opinion.

I found the IMDB page for the movie, "Trash," directed by Stephen Daldry. Alex is listed on the page as an intern.

In time with the final Billy Elliot final performance, here's a video of Alex performing "Electricity" two weeks prior to his debut.
The video's information is very interesting!

What is SYTA? (Youth Theater?)

I get a message that the video is unavailable.

A few more details about the film at https://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/s ... low-dress/. Includes a glimpse into perhaps some part of the struggle Alex had pursuing dance as a boy.

Alex's The Yellow Dress won the Narrative Short Audience Award category. Congratulations, Alex!
