PROPS N STUFF

Hello to all

Just a quick note to ask everyone to keep on the lookout for old suitcases, crates and wooden chairs. Nothing valuable or sentimental obviously! Maybe grandparents etc have old stuff that we could use? If you have any ideas, let me know before you lug it all the way to rehearsals and we'll see if we can use it!

See the welsh lot next tuesday!

Just checking in to see how people are doing with learning there lines and working out how to perform this marvelous construction we call Strangers. lol
Comment.? I know wales have really gone the whole hog this week and worked out the settlers arriving scene. Looking forward to recording our voices tomorrow you'll probably see some on the blog.

ticket

hi all,

in our international production meeting, nelson asked if i could come up with a ticket design. i've been mucking around with this image for it, with a boat voyage feel, but it could always work as train ticket or maybe a weird tube ticket, to cross over the 3 shows. needs more info on it, price, destinations, etc, but hope you like it.

designy things

hi all,

finally figured out how to use this thing, ish!

from the wales end of the project as you may know, the design has gone through some changes, mainly due to restricted use with the theatre we are in.

so, that acting as an opportunity to focus the design into another area, we've come up with this, a playground of objects to be manipulated into the different scenes we need. it has slough's junk yard feel, but from the workshops last year the Wales Crew came up with the strong idea of lines and suitcases representing the journeys involved. lines especially tie in with the tube map idea of a journey and coloured lines on the floor, representing individual scenes will guide where we move set objects to represent (hopefully sketches below will illustrate this), from a street pavement, to a nelson boat arrival. i think this set offers a lot of play and activity to the large number of performers we have trafficing out stage. post your thoughts and stuff, hopefully this crosses over well between the other 2 shows.

all the best, alex r

Well the scripts are done and mulched together and i think it's awesome! I've had a fantastic and challenging time putting this script together with my peeps in Nelson; Sarah and the writers Jen, Danielle, Alex, Ryan, Comfrey, Becky, Chrissie, Tammy and Jarred. Also I had a primo time working with the actors last week, the group is really talented and it was great to see the words finally come alive and to experiment with different styles within the play. It's gonna be massive! My many thanks to Sarah and Peri. Peri i hope to meet you one day and good luck to you and your crew! Big ups to the Slough crew too I hope the show goes off!
Nelson go hard and i'll see you at your dress rehearsal so you better be good!!!! Just jokes. Have fun and always enjoy!
