Well, of the three mornings I have shown up to the Dept of Education’s rehearsal space only last Friday have I had access to actually engage in a rehearsal process. The first day the door was locked, which could be a result of me being 15 minutes late and today (Tuesday) I arrived early to find the room full of people preparing for a class. Apparently this class wasn’t on the schedule I was given to decide when to rehearse in the space. Not so much a complaint and more just a statement of the process so far. RS 2 – J 1. The result of this schedule mixup will probably mean I won’t be rehearsing in the space on Tuesdays which makes my four day practice become a 3 day practice. However, maybe I should mix up my sense of place and do the practice outside? Sydney is beautiful and the weather is beyond what I could have expected. I am here from Fall through Spring and it is late fall.
Since there was a mix up I thought it might be good in this post to describe the process I was going to start today and continue through the week. I was planning to continue the mad solo version of the daily practice with watching and doing alone. But I decided to try adding an outside eye – the video camera. I received a Flip UltraHD in the mail yesterday from a friend and the thing is easy to use. It records video and makes it easy to post online for viewing. So for this week I will set it up as an outside eye recording the hour of practice. More tomorrow – hopefully in the space.
