Greetings

Hey! I've always wondered about blogging for productions. Does it really work? So I thought to myself, why not just try it with three. and see what happens. So this here is the first blog post.

Right now, we are in the middle of rehearsals and so far, it has been great. There are only 6 weeks left to show week (Thank you, Lorna for that brilliant reminder) and I admit, I'm feeling a bit jumpy now. But I do believe that three. has a lot of potential to be something good and that things will unfold within the week or two.

The idea actually came up more than a year ago, as I was in the middle of rehearsals for The Shape Of Things. I was using music as a warm up for the cast and when they started moving to it, I felt deeply captivated by it all. Since then, I've dreamt of putting up a movement piece on stage. But I knew I needed a good storyline and a damn good cast to pull it off. A year down the road, after sitting on the idea for so long, I finally decided to do it. So, auditions began, cast was chosen and a storyline was created. Now, I've got a cast of really talented actors, a superb live band, a movement director that I have psychic connections with and a wonderful stage manager. Oh, and the best part is, we're a month and a half away from opening night. It's amazing how things happen so fast.

Anyway, more about other things later on.

Cheers.

Well, well...wasn't expecting less from you! It is good to know that things are going well and also that you are already feeling jumpy!Remember what we use to do when you were on your nerves: go out, have a smoke and give me a call.
Can't wait to see what have you done now!!
You guys have all my support (and my presence the opening night!) So break a leg, or how we use to say in Spain "Lots of shit"!
