Week One
A NOTE FROM LOUIS...
Well…we’re back! It looked for a while like we might not be, but we are back with a bang and on behalf of all of us… THANKYOU! Thankyou for all the support you’ve given NTC! You really are a great bunch!
We’re all super excited at the prospect of getting our teeth into a bit of Shakespeare this summer.
Day one of rehearsals saw us all taking part in a workshop from Frantic Assembly, which was extremely useful in exploring movement and relationships between characters ,and we all took a lot from it…however we are now all aching rather a lot after using muscles we have never even knew we had!
Now on day two, we have got the set up…and we get to play with ladders! I won’t say too much at this point but let’s just say that Nigel Collins up a 6 foot ladder will certainly be a sight worth seeing!
And, on day three we are having a fantastic workshop with the wonderfully eccentric Lewis Hancock. He is an expert in all things Shakespeare, and even after only a few hours, there’s already been a few revelations about the show. This is going to be fun!
But as for now NTC’ers, I must say goodbye, it’s time for a quick coffee and then back to work…with 5 actors playing around twenty parts, it’s going to be a busy 3 weeks. See you on the other side, and ta ta for now,
Much Midsummer Nights love,
Louis Roberts
