So, we are well into our Flight Effect tour now with having completed two performances. Last Tuesday we told you all about Huddersfield College and yesterday we went to Selby and performed at the sixth form college there. We are really enjoying touring around Yorkshire and it’s coming around so fast! So yesterday we went to Selby Sixth Form College and performed with an audience of year 10 students, who also took part in the workshop led by the education team before-hand. We had found that as a team in the tech run, we had to adjust to the performance space as it was a little smaller than we have been used to. However, with some small spacing changes and a full run through in the tech run, we found it rather easy to adjust. As a company, we found Selby Sixth Form College a great experience and by working in a different setting and space, we felt a very tight and professional as a company by working together to make the piece powerful in each setting. We received some feedback through evaluation forms that the students had filled in after viewing the performance. We really enjoy hearing the opinions and comments of the audience once we have performed; it is really refreshing and helpful to hear what people think about it and how they felt when watching it. Overall, we have noticed a few comments similar to our Huddersfield audience in that some say it keeps them on edge with a moment of suspense when watching it. This was a main idea when our choreographer was co-creating Moon Eaters with us so it was really nice to hear the audience feel what our choreographer was working towards them feeling. We received a lot of positive comments with words such as:
- Fascinating
- Memorable
- Meaningful
- Different
With these words in mind, we are going to continue working on our performance and giving it our ‘all’ in every tour date, rehearsal and performance to give the audience the best atmosphere possible. With this in mind, keep an eye out for our next tour date as it is only two days away! This Thursday we are touring a little closer to home in York at Joseph Rowntree Theatre. So keep an eye out on Facebook posts, our blog, instagram and twitter for our latest pictures, updates and information to keep you up to date! Our trailer will very soon be ready to view as our rehearsal director explained it is being sent to us very soon with the final edit, so keep a look out for this!
So keep reading!
