Today we returned to show mode with two rehearsals. The first rehearsal of the day is usually running through each and every one of the acts. This doesn't sound weird, except that there are a couple of blocks in the show where numerous acts rotate. As a result, things tend to be drawn out. To stretch things out a little longer, some transitions are being tweaked and a couple of new acts are being worked in, AND someone is going back into the show after having been injured.
The morning got off to a spotty start when we two clowns were told that the rehearsal had been pushed up a half hour to 9:30. When were we told? 9:35. Needless to say – and yet I say it – communication was a bit lacking.
Grand total running time of the first rehearsal with stops, starts, and do-overs:
Six hours.
I was able to run two loads of laundry, do some cleaning, and then prepare food in three separate stages and finish a magazine in that span of time. During the second run, I ate the food and cleaned the dishes. One of the food components was beef cooked with oregano and shoyu sauce. You cannot imagine how delicious it is. Simplicity and taste are directly proportional.
No.
The taste is exponential!
Here, now, for the general public, do I blab and blab some more about my experiences as I live and work as a clown and actor, but mostly as a person pursuing a life while trying to keep both of these things happening.
