Woke up late with all the clowns and walked down to the beach again. The whole schedule is out the window because we are all very relaxed. We played tantrum tiggy on the beach and then Mr Hit, then Mr Hit with made up names, then Mr Hit with Animals. I love Mr Hit with animals it includes a noise and action that is your ‘attack mode.’ It was so great that Rachel suggested Mr Hit with a gesture and a sentence in a foreign language. So brilliant, so culturally inappropriate, so hilarious.
Then we played farm animal musical chairs – which I never got until now because always before it felt too humiliating. Suddenly today it worked and I laughed and laughed.
When we got back we had lunch and talked business. How clown practice will run in the future. How to use the group for devising. Who will be running the next few sessions.
And the schedule was really over and we cleaned and packed and did a quick photoshoot. Piled back into the cars and drove, raucous and hilarious, talking ernglersh, insulting each other and listening to Madonna. Straight into a bright, squint eyed sunset and piles of orange clouds.
It feels like this has been a good way to start making the show - to work together lead by lots of other people, to have a lot of fun and to play hard. Seems like a solid base to begin on (although sometimes I get nervous that we aren't making the show yet.)
