Oh man I’m knackered. What a lovely creative start though. The Arsie Annie intimacy coordinator type work definitely helps with a shorthand into trusting each other.
Start the process with a stagger through. Why not? Helps us identify the moments we don’t properly understand. Helps us look for the snags. Script is in hand this week and it is so clear that it needs to not be. We can’t work out of reading brain in this stuff. There’s too much to think about physically. Some interesting helpful decisions coming up already when all five of us are engaged together. The collective brain is always gonna be better than plans we made in the bedroom two weeks before we started rehearsal.
The afternoon was music but inevitably that fed character discussions and some scene work. I didn’t have my accordion but I really don’t like the one I have at the moment. Silly old thief, I hope he got more than it cost to repair my car window out of it. I’ll probably have to spend some money and buy one I can look at. Mister Allodi is mostly retired now out in Lewisham. You might persuade him to repair one but the shop is shut. I’ll have to go further afield.
