For the first day in this three week process I didn’t show up at 10am call. I went to Gelsey Kirkland studios to check out the suitability for doing a rehearsal residency for Kinetic Light. The rear studio, no. 1, owuld be the best. There are several I-Beams up there that we could rig from. Power might be a bit of a problem as the Chicago Flyhouse system require 3 phase. But probably doable.
I left the house kind of late after speaking with Suzanne at Durham performing arts. Looks like I’m going to be the local production manager for their presentation of ABT’s Giselle next March.
Then the rest of the day I was at rehearsal. Alice and Laurel were pretty trashed. I think that we’ve come up against a a wall in the process. There is a good sketch of all the sections that there are going to work on here. But there isn’t much more to do to get the work polished. There just isn’t enough time given that we have to do a showing on Saturday.
We did fun game of “telephone” where we first passed small phrases from one to another. And then did small dance phrases that we did the same with. Transforming them with every passing from person to person.
