Day Two
Hundred and Ninety-Nine: Today.
There was a
moment this afternoon when I was sitting in my 1984 garb between Nat and Leo,
our heads resting on eachother hair-sprayed, make-uped, and chilly. There were people bustling around us building
and gluing and lighting things, it was background noise. We weren’t talking, but just comfortably
sitting together, fitting into eachother’s day as warmth and support. It was a long day to say the least, but a
good one. I am lucky to have such good
people to work with.
Needless to
say I’m exhausted. After a late night,
feeling sick, beng in the theatre all day I just feel like cuddling in and
watching some Who and knit. It’s been a
very reflective day, being in the theatre being around things that make me so
comfortable, and trying to figure out what I want with my life and realising
that among many things I want to be involved with this whole theatre thing. It’s hard to turn your back on something that
makes you feel as good as theatre does for me.
Not the
pretending, or the story-telling, but it’s about the dedication and the
community. I love being a part of
something, and eventually contribute in a creative and useful way. Theatre isn’t
always about performance, but about getting to that performance and all of the
steps it takes.
Hard work
and laughter is all we need, really.
