See you there!

We’ve been rehearsing for two weeks, and today I felt, for the first time, a genuine ease between us all – the two actors, the musician and the dramaturg. At some stage today we each gave and received direction to and from each other quite unselfconsciously. Well, perhaps I wasn’t as unselfconscious as all that, but my remarks or suggestions seemed on the same level of generousity and adventurousness as the others, and to be accepted as such. That fine sense of ensemble is starting to glow in the work, and it is very pleasing. One more week, and then we’re on, the final element is added in – the audience. Hope to see you there!

You can follow the rehearsal process over at the Thunder’s Mouth Theatre blog, or at our fund-raising campaign site

some reactions to the work-in-progress presentations in Brisbane, Dunedin and New York
"thoroughly engaging, thought provoking, fascinating and charming" . " BRILLIANT!" “What I found interesting were the intellectual concepts – the density and journey of the language”“Weaving Shakespeare’s text with contemporary language was really, really interesting! "“The power of the performance was carried securely by excellent performances” “I loved the open ended mystery" “it’s Hugely funny!" “The play highlights how we can work across generations and across cultures, bringing them together”

I know I took some pretty impressive photos, well – it’s hard not to, it’s such an impressive city.  I loved the architecture, the sky and the transport. The wine was pretty terrific as well.  Didn’t enjoy the Cap’n Jack Sparrow take off at Fisherman’s Wharf, he spent so long building his crowd (there really was a good crowd there already when I arrived) that I got bored and wandered off. Doesn’t pay to be too greedy, Cap’n Jack.

I did say I would share my reflections on the whole process of getting the performance/presentation of my play, The Fall of June Bloom, up and running at the VASTA conference last August.  Finally, I found the sound files, (sitting in the ‘to do’ folder on my desktop, where else would they be?).
