Bentwater Roads: Run For Your Life

11 June 2010

In the morning we were all in and getting ready to run the first quarter of the play. We smoothed out transition moments between each of the separate scenes we had been rehearsing. These transitions pieces are going to lift the piece to a whole new level and weave the separate timelines together. They are also going to be the trickiest part to choreograph but I think we all have great faith in Ivan's ability and his vision.

There's always a bit of a buzz before the first books-down run of any section of a play and this was added to by the fact we hadn't all been in the rehearsal room together for over a week. I thought it all crackled as we went through it, we are only at the end of week two of rehearsals but it really set up the story in an inviting way. 

Surprisingly we all manage to remember in what order our scenes arrived as well. After some encouraging notes and a few fine tuning pointers I darted off to the station and home to London for the weekend.
