Final rehearsal for 'end of the world'
Yay rehearsals! Yay my cast! Good group work doesn't happen that often, so I get incredibly excited when it does.
My piece is complete, and I think it looks really amazing. Mostly thanks to a really magical surge of incredible acting from Nova, Brydie, Amanda, and Lenny.
We worked out the end, which was shortened heaps due to lack of time. But by golly, isn't nessecity the second cousin of all invention, because the new approach perfectly balanced out the rest of the play. It's really dark and tense and quiet and dark and tense. The sound scape works really well. Nova's expression as brydie gets hit is just the most heart breaking thing in the world.
Then we went back and refreshed our memories about the whole start bit and modified a few things here and there. I was amazed that in the end they could do the whole thing start to finish, without stopping, and with the most amazing energy. 9mins 50secs.
Tomorrow 1.45pm in P1.28. I'm going to video it, although I'd love someone else to video it for me so that I can watch properly. But it has to be really well videoed.
This group is the one i've enjoyed since cosmic toilets.
