Day Three of Staging

I started off today wonderfully - got up at 6am and ran five miles! I was still pretty sore from the previous day, but I knew I had to get my ass moving. And it made ALL the difference. I have felt really good all day.

In rehearsal we staged the quintet from the second act, and came together pretty easily. The Three Ladies are wearing these really, REALLY long veils and today was the first day that we got to work with them. They look totally amazing, but they are a serious pain in the ass the move around the stage with. Oy. I mean, working a veil is Opera Basics 101, but it's been a while since I've done it. I stepped on it a fair bit today.

Ooh, and for the finale, I get to brandish a sword! Them things are heavy! Please note checkerboard Vans.

I got a better photo of the dragon head. Pretty awesomely creepy

And I get my very own knee pads for all the kneeling, and those things are SAVING my knees and shins, I tell you what. Kneeling without fear! Or pain!

Topped off the day with a Skype session with Noodle, who I miss terribly. Only two and a half weeks until he gets here.
