Tuesday 6th & Thursday 8th October
The focus of Tuesday’s session was blocking the “battle” at the end of Act II. Steevie took the principals while Louisa worked on dancing with the chorus. The group then met up and ran the scene again adding in the chorus. John seems to definately get the worst of being[…]

Steevie’s Wandering thoughts.
