last dance at the cyclone
so i’m starting to work on my project for this december.
(this is not the same project that i’m having auditions for at the end of this month. that particular production is scheduled for march ‘07.)
my december project is the return of ‘lookin thru my earphones’, which many people have been asking for, and which i wanted to do again anyway, because of a fabulous present that masii (the author) gave me about two months ago…a mini-play in verse form. ‘last dance at the cyclone’ will be staged almost like a musical and we are in fact, working on the original sound track as i write. it will complete my show of performance poetry, by featuring as the second half.
find the script below.
much kneeded
so it’s been a little over a week since ‘checkpoint’ closed, and i’ve been feeling a little lost. most theatre chappies will tell you that this happens once a show closes. we call it withdrawl symptoms. you miss the cast, the crew, the show and the characters you played. the buzz of being in front of an audience, the stolen ‘fag breaks’, the secrets, the laughing, the bitching…you even miss the mad contortionist moves of the ‘broom dance’ and that inexplicably placed block of cement that’s in front of the basement elevator at the british school.
sometimes though, characters have a way of staying with you long after the show is gone. it could be a phrase, it could be a facial expression or an accent or, as in my case, it could be a physical souvenir.
