In addition to the eating up of festive fayre and recovering from the excesses of Christmas, in addition to the heralding of the new decade and the bidding of farewells to 2009, this week also witnessed the first rehearsal of Sparkleshark…
And what a joyous occasion that was…so many faces, voices, minds and ideas brought together and now joined together by a single purpose – to realise the work of fiction that is Sparkleshark… Now when I say single purpose the impression given might be a little misleading… There is nothing uniform about the company of actors that have put themselves forward for this task. Over the course of the first day of rehearsals what became clear is that this is a cast full of opinions and the desire to air them, in fact even when there is no real opinion they undeterred…oh yes…they still like to say something…anything in fact…isn’t that right Aliceproudownerofatworoomcellar?
This however is a good thing…a very good thing…as I am confident to enough to believe that Danny and I can harness all of this opinion and enthusiasm, all of the ideas and difference, all of the energy and confidence into something that will turn out to be pretty memorable and I’m also pretty confident that these opinionated, vocal actors will do us the courtesy of listening, responding and challenging themselves to be as brilliant as they can be in the months to come…
And the reason for my confidence? Because in all the time I’ve been doing this I have never been disappointed…
