Today has been a pretty tiring day in Namedy culminating in a technical run through of the entire programme. Within this, it was lovely to get the chance to watch Fred and Ben’s solos that they are presenting. While both works differ in style, their sheer mastery of movement is ever present; it’s really inspiring to watch such established dancers who possess innate understanding of movement in their bodies.
For us, I think we are starting to understand the space a little more and all our directional changes are settling in…after a bit of pre-visualisation lying in bed this morning! Having a few people watching has helped me understand the proximity and the type of focal connection we can share with an audience to draw them into the performance in this space rather than the traditional theatre setting.
It was also our first opportunity to meet the princess this evening and share with her our preparations. I can’t believe we’re already onto the weekend and fast approaching our first performance but I’m very much looking forward to it.
Effie 🙂
