Week 7 was reading week. It came around too quickly for me. I end up rehearsing in all sorts of odd spaces because I find the journey to QMUL too daunting. Yet when I have to be there for either a seminar or a performance I overcome my heebie-jeebies, taking deep breaths despite the smell of bodies on the tube and ignoring my racing heart. I have little patience with myself for finding tube travel daunting, probably because I feel guilty for mocking other people who have suffered when I have found the tube easy. Still obsessing about the back image. Using this image both live and recorded seems integral to what I want to say about vulnerability and strength.
During Reading Week I thought a lot about Lizard Boy. Two months later I am still not ready to properly process or write about what happened there. I have already written about Week 8 - scroll down to my post from November 17th. Looking back to that performance I am glad to have experimented with using a screen as part of the set. It helped germinate the idea not just of using multiple screens, but also reinforced employing whatever is available as furniture and props. Using the large wooden box in FADS was linked to me climbing on to the television cabinet.
