Last tale from the city...
The workshops have gone well and I can’t believe they are nearly over.
The artists I’ve been working with are filled with great ideas and very supportive of each other. The room is like a big children’s playground – with lamps, sheets, sticks and puppets everywhere. The idea I initially had about the staging of the production has totally changed and we’re now finding a new way to bring the story alive on stage. This is scary but very good and at times I feel like I’ve jumped out of a plane and my parachute hasn’t opened yet!
Fabrizio is very good and his ideas are bold and beautiful. The actors I’m working with are also very open, willing to try and are very, very playful which is so important to make this happen. Federica the puppet designer arrived at the end of last week and she is working very hard at the back of the room to create prototype puppets for us to use and explore with.
Thankfully our Stage Manager is keeping us well sustained with home made caramel popcorn and biscuits (or cookies as they call them in the US) - Tasty!!!! We have a sharing of all our explorations tomorrow with everyone in the theatre…. Keeping my fingers crossed they like the things we’ve found.
