Is it Time to Panic?
The rehearsal today took us to South Devon College, a place close to my heart and close to the heart of You, Me and My Voice. After discussing that we only have this rehearsal and one more before we will be showing back at the Ideas Lab (a scratch platform for local original theatre makers and companies) at the Theatre Royal Plymouth, well, it's weird... shouldn't I be really panicking? 'Maybe', I thought to myself, that panic will come later in the rehearsal.
From tech to talker
Forget what you heard, that is not entirely true. In the journey of You, Me and My Voice the technician role has been an artistic take on the traditional role.
Re-hashing?
Re-entry can be difficult. It has its own challenges.
The artistic team working on You, Me and My Voice last worked together over a year ago. In May 2018, Hugh Malyon, Jen Noice, Sophie Amos, Steve Sowden and myself assembled to develop the first stages of this performance piece. At the time, it began as a glimmer of an idea within Doorstep Youth Theatre rehearsals, and was later finessed and developed as Hugh’s Final Major Project at South Devon College with Jade Campbell and Dan Armstrong joining as performers.
