Dec 7th and 8th Rehearsals

Lots of good work. We're really getting the hang of the physical/playful performance style we've been developing and groups are going away and inventing their own material the more we become familiar with it.

So much so that two groups have independently come up with similar pratfalls and bits of 'choreography'. Good.

The 'costume' is also coming together. And everyone seems to be pretty up about the music chosen.

The main thing now is to live breathe, sleep and eat the scene - and to rehearse it in the next week to ten days AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. We can always throw in new elements and challenges to keep things fresh if they become stale. But their is no remedy for not knowing The Score. Jazz will get you nowhere with a Bach Quintet....

...unless you're Charlie Parker.


One day, maybe....

As Richard Wilson once said, in a draughty church hall round the back of Victoria: 'You can't know your lines too well'...

Work hard and enjoy the next few days until we all meet.

ALL COSTUME, RIBBONS, BOWS AND BITS BY NEXT TIME WE HOOK UP.
