Nothing to Declare presents All the Queen's Children: Rehearsals continue

Last night we attempted to block a movement scene involving all fifteen members of the company - and let me tell you it was trickier than we imagined! Everyone in the cast is so different; from people with two left feet to a dancer who was thinking of the moves in terms of rhythm and beats. We all had a laugh, and the scene is far from perfect but we're starting to see how the show is going to look. Dawn and Rosie have (slightly) panicked us all by telling us we only have a month and a bit until our first run of performances, but I think that if we keep our eye on the goal then it will be ready on time. After all, hopefully we'll be getting some VIPS (fingers crossed!) to have a look at what we've got so far, to help us know what to tweak before the summer.

In a couple of weeks we're going to see a show at Nordon Farm Arts Centre called "In a Thousand Pieces", a show I saw myself a couple of years ago in Edinburgh which then won a Fringe First. The show is about sex trafficking in Europe, and the company have agreed to chat to us afterwards about the subject matter, how they developed the piece and of course what the Edinburgh Fringe will be like! It will be really useful to have a look at the type of shows we'll be up against, and the amount of quality we'll need!

Have a look at some of last night's photographs, and keep checking the blog; we have three regular contributors so there will be stuff put up each week.
