Progress!

So the whole "write on tumblr more often"- thing is not going too well, partly because of the added workload, and partly because I'm just lazy :P

Work with the play is getting along pretty well, seeing as we had our first complete runthrough last saturday, and our dance teacher (who is doing the coreography for Carmen & co. and is overall very much involved in the process) said it went better than imagined. Personally I had a hard time of remembering what scene came after the one currently going on on stage, and had to consult the script several times in order to remeber when I'd be up next, not to mention that none of us actually had our real costumes or props on hand, or that the scenography is going to be built during this week. I think it went well though, and all of us left the theatre for a well deserved four days off. When we get back on friday most of the scenography is supposed to be ready, and hopefully we'll get at least some of the costumes next tuesday. Even though we've got a whole month 'till the premiere I feel like there's a thousand things we still have to take into account, but on the other hand, those of the group that have been in theatre before this say we're on a pretty good schedule, and that progress is going well. Eh, I suppose I'll just have to trust them.

I'll try to post more often as thing progress, but I can't promise anything. Here's to continued success!

staff You are recommending that I follow a nazi blog I blocked last night. Your site promotes anti-semitism to Jews. Your site shoves Nazi Swastikas in the faces of Jews. It’s bad enough that the Nazi blogs seem to be sprouting up like weeds on a site that claims to have an anti-hate policy, but to actively promote them to people who have taken the steps of blocking these blogs is beyond the pale. Clean this place up. It’s turning into Stormfront. I encourage everyone who sees this post, Jewish or otherwise, to reblog it. Tumblr has been ignoring the growth of Nazism on this site for too long. It needs to end.

Reblog if you genuinely support asexuals

It terrifies me that there’s so much raging passion in the lgbt+ community that insist on marginalizing asexuals and implying that asexuals don’t deserve to have safe spaces. There’s still so much acephobia so I just wanna know which blogs are genuinely supportive and a safe space for asexuals

Kicking into a higher gear

So, after that first complete I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing- runthrough we've been working really hard to get this thing going, with advertisement- meetings, a reporter for a local newspaper visiting us, and agreeing not to have any days off (except one!) before the premiere, and so far we've been doing OK. The group has been going through a rough patch, but being the sensible adults that we are (eh, not really), we have talked about it and everything's okay now.

Actually three of us left early today to get a flight to Sweden for entrance- exams, and one other guy is joining them tomorrow. They'll be back by saturday morning, however, and we can continue working with everyone present. The rest of us are of course going to keep going, and getting some more personal tips from our other teacher about our characters, and her vision for the play. Next week we're going to try working by the traditional "theatre hours" meaning we rehearse from about 10 am to 2 pm, have a long break, and continue from 6 to 9 pm. It will take some getting used to, but working this way will give us time to go through and fix technical issues, such as lights and props in between rehearsals, and hopefully allow us to also have a bit of a rest in the middle of the day.

So far the nervousness hasn't really made itself shown, but I'm sure that the stress will build up over the coming three weeks, and we will all be more or less nervous wrecks by the first dress rehearsal on the 17th of march, two days before the premiere.
