Skype rehearsal.. who would have imagined?!

Hi  Everyone,

We’ve had just over a week back in the studio introducing our bodies back into the timetable and technique classes, we also had another rehearsal as a company for Moon Eaters. Tour dates are now being confirmed and soon to start in March. Today we had a rehearsal with Dimitri over Skype which allowed to him see the progress of the piece since he last saw it in November. Skype allowed us to be able to receive feedback from him which was very useful as it has given us a lot of notes and pin points to work on in our next rehearsal.  Two main things we shall be working on over the next week will be tidying up que’s for the end of our solo sections which leads into our intense head dance section of the piece. We will also be fine tuning the transition from the head movement into a performer’s solo speech.

  It was good to have the opportunity to rehearse with Dimitri, albeit with the aid of technology! It was refreshing to have his comments on the piece and tell us things he noticed that our both us as a company and our artistic director could have missed with seeing it each week. We discussed deadlines and tour dates in detail this week which gave us the opportunity to ask any burning questions we had as a group. We’ve got a fairly busy week ahead of us with more technique classes, rehearsals for the upcoming tour and on Monday we have a day in Leeds at Both Yorkshire Dance and Phoenix Dance Company. Here, we get the opportunity to watch a professional dance class and rehearsal; which will give us an insight to how a professional company works so we can compare and apply it to our practice as a company.  This day will also be great for us as it will give us an insight into how various people entered the performing arts and dance profession.

  Keep reading our weekly blogs to see what we have been up to and what we have planned! Not long until our tour dates begin and a short week France is upon us!

 As always, keep checking out Facebook, Twitter feeds, Instagram posts and Website (www.flighteffect.co.uk)  for more and more updates and information. Looking forward to updating you all next week.
