We stare at our creation
Our makeshift speaker
A shoe.
We’ve forgotten the speaker for this session.
The music 'soulfully' reverberates from it's top
....
excuse the pun.
This week
We welcome Sam and Lily
Our two new actresses to join the throng
They assemble as a trio with Alice
Kara again leads the gathering
She has fed snippets of her vision for our next performance to our players
She oversees their interpretations
Sam, Lily & Alice
Entangled
A movement for each number
A countdown
Always connected by a part of the body
A hand
A foot
OK, I’m going to throw a spanner in the works
If we rotate
Some of the countdown freeze frames involve the players symbolising a phone
With their hands
Georgie and Alex
Repeating their movements from last week
Deliberate digging
Deliberate gathering
Only faster this time
They have mastered their piece
Choreographed to near perfection
I watch Alex
His facial expressions remind me of John who used to work for the company
I voice this to Jo
‘He reminds you of Jam’?...
Georgia and Sam
I want you to rotate of your back
It’s like you’re working in the tiniest little closet….
Why is this shoe here?!
Our shoe speaker has snuck it’s way into the middle of rehearsals
(‘Thanks to Lucy)
The hall of the mountain king by Grieg echoes out of Jo’s Doc Martins.
