So the Wayward Seniors team has one week and a bit to go before they stun you onstage at Q Theatre.
Progress has been fantastic. Their deadline to remember lines came and went, with lines sticking to memory (for the most part).
Stage directions have been sussed and we just need to make sure you guys can hear them, so a bit more work on voices to go.
In the video I say they just completed their fourth to last rehearsal - not good with numbers on the spot - I meant fifth (or sixth) to last.
Costumes have been organised and I'm in the process of adding finishing touches to one of the actress' costumes. Praying everything will stay in place, otherwise feathers will be ruffled.
In other news. Sunday saw me driving to Titirangi's Lopdell House to meet a strapping gentleman who goes by the name of Henry Atkinson. Gathered around this stoic figure of a man - we had comedians, artists, writers and directors posing in green and pink for the Titirangi Tatler.
Photographer for the day: Taimi.
If you want to check out the behind the scenes shots, have a gander here.
Nice little trip, got to meet others involved in The Big reTHiNK, plus I got a free coffee out of it. Score.
Another photoshoot's coming up this Sunday and this will involve everyone, I believe. So all those acting and directing will be present.
Wonder if chaos will ensue. From what I've seen of this photogenic bunch, doubt there'll be cat fights or evil glares from across the room because at this point something definitely is amiss: egos.
Guess that's what you get when you're involved in something like reTHiNK, "craziness" is accepted because what's "normal"? Idiosyncrasies and oddities take centre stage leaving egos in the cold, and owners of upturned noses find themselves stumbling as the door hits them on their way out.
At least, that's my impression so far. We'll have to wait till Sunday to see if egos appear. As they say it's all an act for the camera. Now the real show will be what appears behind the scenes.
As I watch it unfold, wonder if there'll be any free coffee?
Until next time,
Jos
