a little late...
hi! Its been a very long time since I wrote last! So much has been happening, mainly a huge amount of rehearsals but also our first performance!!! we were in Ilford at the Kenneth More Theatre on the 14th, well we'd been there from Monday doing tech rehearsals and dress rehearsals. it was the first time that I had danced in the peurt -a -beul costume (which is a high neck, long sleeved jumper) and i got seriously hot! but personally I think the best part of the costume (fresh from the opera house) is my red skirt and very large red sloggi pants, they add the finishing touch to the fun! Our audience at Ilford were wonderful...they laughed in all the right places, which always helps our acting as we feel that we can really play up to it. puert a beul has become my favourite work, so I'll try not to ramble on about it too much...the choreographer Will Tuckett came in to rehearse us and he is the most dynamic, engertic choreographer I've ever worked with! It was wonderful, but he was so specific to the last detail that the next day I was soooo achy! my legs were ready to fall off! anyway, seeing that I haven't been able to stop myself rambling, I need to go to an Overleap rehearsal...we're getting ready for the Chipping Norton tour and the stage is considerably smaller than Ilford...in fact its smaller than anything!!! write soon...sooner than last time anyway! x
