Bumped in to La Mama courthouse late last night. Arrived and the previous show was still in progress, outside working hours so the loading zone was full. Double parked Nona and the trailer and unloaded onto the dark footpath zippety zip.
A little bit of Kapow! in the dark on the footpath outside the Courthouse
Christy was coughing and I was worried she was getting sick. The space was smaller than we expected due to the wing curtains taking up an extra meter on each side. Also, the fact that the audience enters and exits across the stage and needs a 1.2 meter pathway for safety. But we squished things up, cut a trick and jammed everything in somehow.
Luke and Sarah, the techie doing lights for us, started plotting the show. Kate arrived with an easter chocolate chicken and some notes. The main one being that the show is missing some of the slower paced, down moments. We talked about how to bring those back. Some silence. Some registering.
We were exhausted and Christy sent me home. Luke could plot the lights without me. I wanted to tuck her up in a bed somewhere but she said she’d stay and I headed out alone for the tram. And bed. After about five glasses of water. I have a new appreciation for water right now.
