no rest for the wicked green
yes, still alive.
still doing uni work
this is it. crunch time.
the show is on Fri and Sat night. and to those who i said you should come to the show, im afraid i cannot get tickets for people...
its so messed up, its supposed to be a show, a show to show people what we can do. however, due to the nature of the show (not a sit-down-watching theatre, but a walkthrough promanade... ) each show can only take 50 audiences! how absurd! considering the cast and crew is over 150!
and with VIPs from the industry to invite, its all filled up. its crazy. and stupid. and i feel poo about it all. im really sorry people.
however, its super short notice, but i may be able to get ONE ticket for saturday night showing at 8. puppy will be there too so you wont be alone, but i will be backstage so i wont be able to keep you company.
let me know if anyone wants to come.
-----------
i dont know what day of the week it is. ive been at uni for over 12 hours a day for 2 weeks straight now.
what's a weekend?
still, this just goes to show that i love doing this so much
this is truly what i want to do with my life
and i am ever thankful that i found it.
and truth be told, i am kinda enjoying the stress and pressure, ITS EXCITING!
the adrenalin rush of having to keep to an unrealistic schedule!
running around and collaborating with all sorts of people
sourcing materials from strange little shops all over london (and wow, these people in the industry really do keep em secret! these shops, you could walk past on a daily basis and never know! lol)
talking on the phone to negotiate dealings - like a weel growned up! XD
delegating menial monotenous jobs to the second year kids
coming up with ideas how to make something that on paper seems impossible
seeing said idea come to life before your eyes and it being successful
etc etc
feeling so happy and fulfilled.
haha, having said that, we still have a few things to tweak on our piece!
i sound like ive already finished everything! lol
so yeah, tomorrow we transport our piece and gather our tool kits for the week long stay in the theatre.
on monday we will be rigging it up and light tests. (apprently we will be the riggers in the show too!)
tuesday, more tweaks and run throughs
wednesday, full dress rehersal
thurs, last minute tweaks and holding our breath...
for the curtain up for the VIPs night on Friday.
saturday is friends and family show, and derigging and transport back to uni until 1AM on sunday.
wow. its going to be awesome.
i really cant wait!
i can already feel the buzz in the air, that amazing butterflies in stomach feeling
like im about to go on stage, but its even better, because its something i created that is better than myself!
wow.. im in this for good.
----------------------------------
edit. ohmydays, on the other side of the seesaw, my body is just falling to pieces! haha!
i have millions of tiny cuts on my hands, arms and knees from all the aluminium bars and copper sheets (which i only found out by having an invigorating saltscrub this morning. XD ouch.)
my knees are all scabby and bruised because ive been kneeling on concrete and rivets all day
all my clothes are pretty much ruined from the harsh chemicals used. i used to wear overalls over relatively nice clothes but now, it just gets in the way, so i just wear my designated work clothes to uni.
my hands are often covered in toxins too. and last night i even dreamed that i still had chemicals on my hands so i couldn't touch my face and it was strange and scary.
i find metal shavings inside my panties!!!
burnt my knuckles on the soldering iron. you know how meat goes opaque when cooked? well, my thumb went like that! and it smelt like bacon!!! O_o
my pockets are constantly filled with nuts/bolts, drill bits, latex gloves, chinagraph pencils, measuring tape always bulging.
my hands are just a shadow of their former pretty girly self! haha!
now they look like some diseased hamster hands!
but i am proud of my skanky hamster hands! XD
