What a fantastic day! After the end of the key labs, yesterday, I got into the paintworks at about 9:30am to a real buzz of excitement. I counted 30 people as Sarah (our director in situ) sat us down and revealed a 15' wooden board with the rough outlines of the 14 scenes of our show -The Happiness machine.
It felt like with the preliminary meetings, we had found the corner pieces and even most of the straight edges out of the jigsaw box; and were starting to believe that we would be able to construct the final picture. Finally; here were the missing bits... All we had to do now was figure out which one goes where!
For my part, I was asked if I could start to develop a slack rope act and somehow work in some interactive communication with other performers on the ground. Slack rope has been my main focus in this last decade of my career so I felt confident I could push the boundries, it was also exciting to see how we can develop the play from ground to air.
