Tomorrow we shoot some scenes in a black space for the promo DVD. An odd shift from create, refine, question, disassemble to rehearse it for an outcome.
We intentionally didn't have a showing at the end of this development so that we can focus on the work. Often, the last few days of a development are spent rehearsing something for the audience as opposed to serving the work. So it was odd to get our brain into a deadline place.
However, still made some great discoveries. We said goodbye to the Colonial Oriental speed dating in Plague in London (sad to see it go, but for the greater good). We also invested even further in the preface- the moment at the start when the characters (not the actors) come out onstage and announce the rules. Much more gets revealed about the work in that moment now, a warning for the audience and at the same time a welcoming.
The old friend we rediscovered was Pig Tit Farm. This was the audience favourite last time around, and you can see why. The fact that the actors remembered the scene almost without prompting is a sign of a god scene, and in the case of this development where so much is changing, it was a nice instance of 'if it ain't broke...'
So tomorrow we move into a theatre, and surrender ourselves to a camera. Can't wait.
