It has been a crazy month full of extra rehearsals, hours hunting down the costume lady (a positive and negative thing about living on a kibbutz: you don't need to be anywhere at any time. We just yell loudly and someone will come...in theory) more hours in rehearsals, and a few hours sitting on the porch hoping someone will appear to be my personal chef.
As always it was a fun week in tech rehearsals, and hours of sitting in the dark. My kibbutz is fancy and has wireless internet in the cafe, hence in the theater. So, I took my computer and planned my life out...until August 1st.
The shows went well over all. The first two shows we had a grand total of 5 people in the audience and 3 were our teachers. It didn't bother me; this is about the process not the performance. The second day was much better in the number of audience members.
Mika made a video for us and played it at the show. It was pictures of all of us with our names and countries. Later on, another video pops up and I hear the sounds of our giggles as we made our famous "fish face" video one wild night on the kibbutz. Here is the link if you want to check it out:)
Later, later on, I hear my laugh on repeat over the sound system. Mika had put my part of this video on repeat, which then led into another slide show. My earth shattering laugh as a soundtrack, great.
We ended the shows with a toast to our success and a surprise party for the sweetest nugget I have ever met, Natasha.
It was a great round 2 for Nitzotzot and in 2 weeks were back in the theater for the show we are literally just pulling together. I love a good challenge. It will be a fun week of intense dancing and time together.
Bring it on!
