Ash wrote a blog...yipeeee
Today was the first day back after the summer holidays, and with it marked the first rehearsal of Briar Rose, the first session for a few newcomers, and one of the final sessions for some of the Yew Tree veterans. This was set to be my penultimate appearance at Gold, but i have been fortunate enough to be able to stay and do all things yew tree for another year.
The session this week was very relaxed, consisting of a few games, a creative task, a read through of the script and finished off with an always pleasant game of the laughing game. It was very enjoyable to hear the script out loud and to find so much of what was devised in there too, although suprisingly none of what mine and Jonny's group devised for the dream sequence was in there, I really thought we were on to a winner...
Joking aside it was very nice to be back, infact more than nice it was great, and after having such a large role last year im looking forward to seeing what the younger cast members have to bring to the table. There were already talks of costumes and props, so we really have hit the ground running. With that said and speaking from experience i would advise those with a lot of lines to start learning them as soon as possible. I thought I had alot last year and struggled a little, but looking at the Briar Rose script some people have a huge amount of lines to learn, so dont sleep on it.

But in all reality, my blog should start in 2023, as National Theatre Connections began then. I had been cast, along with Izzy, in the role of Noush, which quickly I became attached to. As the rehearsal process continued into the year of 2024, I only grew to like the role even more. Kiss/Marry/PushOffCliff - as the play was called - soon shaped up to be a fantastic show. The year before (I know, this is meant to be 2024, but everything, after all, is interconnected) I'd shown interest in NT Connections but had shied away, thinking I was not capable enough for such a task. This time, however, I was prepared - or brave, or optimistic, or however you could describe it - and chose to take part. It was indeed the right decision. Never before from a show had I received such enjoyment, even from rehearsals. Every tim...
