We're off!
60 in the company,
5 days
7 performances,
1 amazing setting...
We're doing it in two phases. Phase One will see the whole piece mapped out, a detailed pencil drawing of what will eventually emerge...
Then, before phase two the cast have time to let the direction and choreography sink into their souls. Several weeks will elapse... Costumes are made, set designed and built....
Phase Two arrives and takes the pencil drawing and turns it into a vibrant, explosive living painting.
And then to the Minack - a truly magical setting for a story as epic as this one.
But for now, let's return to now.
I have to admit I'll be wearing two hats through this process - one being the choreographer and the other being the Head of Department for Performing Arts at Bath Spa University, out of which this Full Tilt production is born.
However, what's most exciting for me, (whichever hat I'm wearing) is the sheer energy of the cast and company. There's a generosity here and an excitement about the process of making really, really good, truthful expressive theatre which is creating a focused buzz in rehearsal. All of this in a company, (Full Tilt Theatre Company) that combines staff, students, professionals and graduates in one dynamic melting pot and the sheer scale of the potential is mesmerising in itself.
Minack here we come. Full Tilt.
