Bondage!

Yep - that got your attention - didn't it !!!!!

Following on from Asst Director Demon's post earlier today, I thought I'd better fill everyone in on what's been happening with the AMBD rehearsals. Well.....

I walked into the main hall having finished the CAST Academy meeting to find Boy, Girl, Man, Calm Woman and Neat Woman all tieing each other up and Neat Woman brandishing a spare tie, just for me. Lucky me. We then spent the next hour and a half with our hands tied at 6/8 inch distance apart, delivering the script to get us into the mindset of wearing shackles/manacles (no fluffy handcuffs in this show - it's not panto. Shame).

Director Witch stopped the script at one point as he was really worried that Girl had seriously hurt herself from the look on her face. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realised she was genuinely acting being hurt!!!!

At one point everyone had the hairs standing up on the back of their necks during the rehearsal and the atmosphere was "strange" Director Witch even stopped writing notes on what we were doing wrong - so we MUST have been doing it right!!!!!

Things that I learnt last night....

1. Man doesn't know his own strength. Girl learnt this too.
2. It is possible to pinch someone's backside with your hands tied and they happen to be in the way and you need them to move :-)
3. Girl can really act. Director Witch was fooled.
4. There are far too many clouds and moons in this show.
5. Walking round in cirles makes you very dizzy.
