Mirv wrote a blog about yesterdays rehearsal
Ok so this is my first post, and I can’t wait to tell you all my thoughts and views of things.
So yesterday Gold company had a few warm up games and a quick run through our short performances for Raised Curtain, before we set off from Thornes Park. The journey to the Theatre Royal in Wakefield was just sensational. It was a perfect time to talk and socialise with everyone whilst walking. The breeze and the spring scent just made things that much better and everyone couldn’t wait to see what was up ahead.
When at the theatre we met Rhiannon she was just amazing and toured us around the Theatre. The first place we were in was the stage itself, Inci performed her piece. This was the first time we had seen the script performed and because it was on the stage it was a brilliant moment for us to feel like an audience watching the real performance. Our attention snapped at Ash as he constantly interrupted Inci, it was like watching a tennis ball being tossed to Inci from Ash and back. The emotion of laughter filled the whole theatre up. But what we were concerned about was the actual audience, we were wondering what they would do, maybe someone might get up and shout at Ash? Who knows maybe that’s for you to decide, or maybe not.
The hardest scene to rehearse was the bar scene. With me being in that scene I know what everyone is up against and to pull it off we really need to dig deep and get in contact with the characters, the tension really does build when we do it well.
Personally I can’t wait any longer. Raised Curtains is a brilliant experience as I have never done anything like this. But what I’m really interested is what the audience will think, what they will experience at the end of the day. It will be amazing to find out.
Just imagining the whole of Gold company performing is good enough I’m sure that everyone’s experience will be just as important and I know that this will be cherished dearly.
