Rehearsals, cold Coffee and... Fight!

Good Morning in many, many languages

GOOD MORNING! (●´ ∇`\)”


[MONDAY]

(92nd day of 2018)

Takao San, Thank you very much!!!

It was a refreshing Yatsuhashi !!!

(TN: The Name that Aki san could not remember on last Diary, Thursday entry)

I thought I'd remember without checking it out,

But... today too, I was tired from thinking about various things,

and I forgot... good (´д`●)”

Today too, the T° is 24°C and it’s a warm spring air, nice weather Monday Start.

At the Base of the former Paper Wasp Nest, under the eaves, Wasps begin to gather again.


Today I received the rest of the set, then, off to paint and re-coating,

and Movement and Staff work.

The actors can concentrate in the practice with all strength. Fight!!!


[TUESDAY]

(93rd day of 2018)

Today, all performers, nervous,

met for the first time,

Then, script reading meeting.

Myself, I haven’t seen everyone since a long time, and yet… everyone’s tension is transmitted and I got a strange sweat...

I have the feeling this will get interesting.



WEDNESDAY

(94th day of 2018)

Play practice Day 2 then, immediate raise and rehearsal.

The atmosphere instantly changes, from the time I was only reading with the members. The atmosphere of a Theater Play, The facial expressions of each actor, the Members properly appearing into sight.


[THURSDAY]

(95th day of 2018)

Play practice Day 3, today, rehearsal including the Dance Part.

I was aware of this, but still...

performing and directing… what the…How difficult it is!!! In both, Dance and Play, I am most, most useless…

On the 3rd. day, everyone, one more step.

[FRIDAY]

(96th day of 2018)

A strong wind Friday, wind between the buildings like a typhoon;

out to the street and off to practice,

it was a short time today but, day by day, one step at a time, Scenes, Members, Performers and Story are getting interesting. It is a LIVE Show, that you’ll regret not seeing,

Cause it will be properly a Play and a Live Show. Day by day going straight. Today after rehearsal, off to Perform at a Corporate Event…

Feeling a great Pride and excitement about the wonderful Kukan Production. Congratulations on their 30th Anniversary.


(TN: Theather Company ‘Kukan-Engi’, in which Aki San has worked as choreographer in several productions)

Going back completely exhausted…

[SATURDAY]

(97h day of 2018)

This Morning, I set coffee and left it unattended, Opened the Script and realized when it was 19:00 h…

I wonder what kind of time I was spending... Drinking the cold coffee I had set in the morning, feeling the Script at the evening. I wonder If I’m capable of concentrating so much on studying this.

But, live carefully now...

A gentle weekend everyone...


[SUNDAY]

(98th day of 2018)

Since the Morning, happy News: The work of the Kukan-Engi Theater Company , “Handsome Villain” was given an Award at the Suginami Theater Festival. I was working in it as Choreographer.
