Klezmer Nutcracker: Rehearsal Report
Back from WFC & the triumphant Interfictions 2 debut week, I've now been to a few of the first rehearsals for the new cast of this year's production of my Golden Dreydl for Vital Theatre, The Klezmer Nutcracker, and done a number of revisions to the script - some during the rehearsal itself: on Saturday, Sara, the Fool and I did improv on their lines until we got something we all liked. Most of the cast are genuine dancers - there will be many entrances on pointe, my friends, with pirouettes galore, this year! The Queen of Sheba will OWN every 9-yr-old in the audience when she does her Arabesque . . . . Sara & the Fool are "merely" tumblers - watching them egg each other on to cartwheels with a "Comaneci Finish" was pure bliss! - they have great chemistry together already, and what's more, they Get the Fantasy . . . When the director asked, "So, how does the Fool know that the Peacock was supposed to be guarding the Demons?" ( See? I told you I was revising lots!), one said, "Well, he's mythic - he just does!" and the other, "It's a small Land; all the magical people know each other." Mwa! The ensuing discussion made me pontificate on the fact that Fantasy has to work on 3 levels, all at once: the Mythic, the Metaphoric, and the Real. (As Delia pointed out when I told her: This means that [ all together now] Fantasy is Harder!)I missed this morning's rehearsal, but the Production Manager, Leah, faithfully sends out a Daily Report. To give you some sense of how groovy this year's show will be, I present here the bit on Costumes/Wigs & Make-Up:1. [We just lost a cast member, who got a job with a touring production, so] L-- will replace V-- as the Autothith in the riddle scene.
2. Now that we’ll only have one toy in the first scene we’ve decided to ditch the Transformer and just have a dinosaur-type creature.
3. Luke would like to play the Guardian of Flame as a very short person with shoes on his knees, is it possible to get him some knee pads for rehearsals?
4. The Carob Man’s costume will need a pocket for his carrot.La, la, la ( Sing:) . . . There's no business like show business! And now I really must go type up the revisions I promised for tomorrow. You didn't think I was blogging because I didn't have something more important to do, did you? |

Today, I"m headed towards Eureka, California to visit friends I have not seen or heard from since 1988! Today, I'm also not sticking my thumb out on the highway. That game is old and worn out I must be worn out, because the only option is Greyhound bus. I HATE greyhound. Hopefully, I should stretch out my laptop battery for 2 full hours of playing fallout :P Current Mood:  relaxedCurrent Music: Ceti Alpha Eels - Wrath of Khan score - James Horner |

Travel
So, I'm heading to Little Rock on Thursday the 19th, and home again Sunday the 22nd. Folks here will hold the fort admirably, I know, and I'm looking forward to coming home -- please hold good thoughts for Daddy's surgery and my trip both going *really well.* He should be getting out of the hospital the 18th or 19th, so I'll be around to help with the practicalities of recovery, or at least that's our fervent hope and plan. Meantime, I'll keep on keepin' on. Current Mood:  worried |
