Today we complied a HUGE draft sequence for the show. Currently it is divided into 3 parts: Fear, untitled phase 2 (something about saving the world/sugar/overconfidence) and acceptance. This is by no means our final string together of all the moments, but it is a start! Our goal is to "romp" through this draft by Monday night. Tuesday morning Mako Fujimura is coming to visit us and we're planning a special preview sequence for him. Since we've spent a lot of time alone with this show, we're hoping to share with him some of the moments we are struggling with.
As for the rest of today, we took a much needed break. We visited the Celtic Festival on Hunter Mountain where we saw an incredible band "Celtica Airs Rock". The music was great, but the most invigorating part was experiencing a well crafted live performance. The show had many elements we are interested in: audience interaction, surprises, revelation of space, and succinct/tight show. It was clear that they were so well rehearsed. Each song had a choreographed moment--whether it was fire shooting out of their guitars at the same time or gathering on stage for a rocking motion. The performers were unified in costume, presence, and enthusiasm. We noticed the impact that such a tight show had on the audience. The crowd was comfortable and excited, even though they were all different ages and demographics. What an incredible influence to have on us while we are knee deep in our process!
(Also we came home and our dogs stole my fresh baked bread off the table) (very sad, tragic indeed.)
