Revamp!

At last the new website is up and running, just a week before the first proper performance of 'Everyday Fairytales' (our first 'non-proper' performance was as part of the Christmas Lights Parade in November, where we did some movement in the Grafton Centre and were rewarded by large crowds and a number of rowdy children chasing Jared in his wolf's costume).
We had our final rehearsal this afternoon. I'm usually very stressed on such occassions but today I was remarkably calm. Possibly this has something to do with the fact that 'Everyday Fairytales' is basically improvised physical theatre, so it's good for me to let go instead of trying to choreograph every move in minute detail. With this project the spontaneity of the movement is very important.
Then after rehearsal some of us went on to CB2 - a wonderful little cafe/restaurant on Norfolk Street with a basement that new writing company WriteOn! use for their series of rehearsed readings. Juliette had written and was acting in a very powerful monologue - I was blown away by the ideas behind the piece. And she says she isn't a writer!
