This week marked the end of our relatively laid back rehearsals with Charlie (Linehan) as we launched ourselves into the world of Luke & Steve (Stomp).

This was also the first week with the full company in the studio and it feels like a great bunch of people thus far - really good energy, just as well really since we’re together until mid May!

For Mish this was a particularly tough week as she had the mammoth task of trying to finish the design, troubleshoot problems as they arose and continue fabrication in amongst us trying to animate the set like giant puppet masters and count 6’s at the same time.

We quickly discovered that learning to clap a rhythm whilst standing comfortably on the floor can be tricky enough but becomes a whole different ball game when transferred to trying to land a scaff plank on your same precise count from 6 metres up.
