Oh my goodness. I am exhausted. It has been a busy week. We finally finished blocking the show today, and we started tech as well. We are slowly making progress. Slowly. I think in the end we will be fine. Not that we can chill out in the next couple of days, but we don't need to panic.We have 4 days left, well 3 days of rehearsals until we open our devised piece.
We have spent a lot of time in the last few days just putting down the basics for each scene and moving forward. So we have a lot of detail work to do over the weekend. And then we will finish tech on Monday. We have cut the show down quite a bit, but I think we may have to do a little more trimming. Hopefully though as we clean up transitions and each scene gets tighter we will take off a lot of time. We do need to keep thinking about what can be cut though, as we have an extra performance next Friday that has to be 20 minutes shorter. That is going to be interesting.
We are all pretty exhausted at the moment. I am looking forward to having a day off on Monday. This will be the first weekend I have had to myself in a while. I love traveling and having everyone visit, but I need a day to myself. I plan on shutting myself in my room and cracking down on the paper I am supposed to write over the break. That and do exciting things like laundry and grocery shopping. I cant wait. And then next weekend starts the break.
David will be here a week from tonight. I cant wait. I am looking forward to showing him the city and all of my regular haunts. I've been brainstorming all sorts of fun places to take him. And then after that its back to the states for a real break, which I am also really looking forward to.
However I have to get through the next 10 days first. So on that note, I am going to retire early this evening and hope that a full nights sleep will help me stay calm and collected through tomorrows rehearsal.
