Jammin & Soul
We stare at our creation Our makeshift speaker A shoe. We’ve forgotten the speaker for this session. The music ‘soulfully’ reverberates from it’s top …. excuse the pun. This week We welcome Sam and Lily Our two new actresses to join the throng They assemble as a trio with Alice Kara again leads the gathering She has fed snippets of her vision for our next performance to our players She oversees their interpretations Sam, Lily & Alice Entangled A movement for each number A countdown Always connected by a part of the body A hand A foot OK, I’m going to throw a spanner in the works If we rotate Some of the countdown freeze frames involve the players symbolising a phone With their hands Georgie and Alex Repeating their movements from last week Deliberate digging Deliberate gathering Only faster this time They have mastered their piece Choreographed to near perfection I watch Alex His facial expressions remind me of John who used to work for the company I voice this to Jo ‘He reminds you of Jam’?… Georgia and Sam I want you to rotate of your back It’s like you’re working in the tiniest little closet…. Why is this shoe here?! Our shoe speaker has snuck it’s way into the middle of rehearsals (‘Thanks to Lucy) The hall of the mountain king by Grieg echoes out of Jo’s Doc Martins.
