In rehearsals

The rehearsals ran 10:00-17:00 in the basement of Camden Peoples Theatre on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st May. 

On Saturday:

A quick discussion of the piece
A short group exploration of the performance
A discussion over costume
A series of longer runs trying different performers in different roles
Between each run different variations of the rules were discussed and implemented
In addition to this different ways of arranging the space were explored

On Sunday:

A quick discussion of issues raised and issues still to be resolved
Looking at diagrams of ships and explanation of crew roles and ship hierarchy
A look at the opening of Master and Commander: Far Side of the World
A decision on who took which role in the performance
A four hour run
During which various questions and issues were raised and resolved though notes passed to and from the performers so as not to interrupt the flow of the performance
