"Run Terry! Run!"

We go down to Kingston and set up the set. We do newspapers as a warm up and then bunkbed play. I’m still learning the pathway of the bunkbed play and now we add throwing a toy. It’s pretty fun. We stop and start, stop and start, figuring out when the toy can be thrown where. A whole other level on top of the previous choreography. Christy and Luke have it down and I’m still a bit lost. Standing at the end of the bunk bed unsure what I should be doing next. When its smooth its really fun - feels like a really nice opener to the show.
Then we start making the training montage. We brainstorm ideas out loud and there suddenly comes a point where we realise that we should be writing them down. Christy gets her computer and we try to remember all the thoughts we just had. Then we play the music Ania wrote us. We sit there on the table, bobbing our heads and looking at each other. We like it – just the bobbing is great. Luke is listening for changes in the music and calling out suggestions. The scene builds itself steadily. This is the scene where Terry is going to be transformed into a superhero. When it gets to that point Scout starts getting emotional. Luke says, “you should grab my collar and shake me and do a bit of that tough love thing.” Christy is clutching Luke’s lapel and collapsing with laughter trying to yell, “It’s under your suit terry! The costume is under your suit! Run Terry run!” We are all in hysterics. We watch the footage back and say. “It’s a scene. It feels like a scene.” Amanda sends us a text late that night that says “I love Terry!”
