Three Weeks and Counting :)



Hey Guys :)

And were back to give you yet another dose of flight effect gossip. 

So it has been one busy rehearsal today with a skype rehearsal with our choreographer Dimitri, so he can see how we have progressed as a company and to give us further corrections. During this we ran the piece full out so he could really get a feel for how it has been developing since the last time he saw us. We also told him about our recent performances that we have done and how they have been going. During the rehearsal he has given us some more feedback for us to work on in the next couple of weeks before the big performance in France. Even though we had some corrections and alterations to make there was not as many as there have been in the past and he is impressed with what we have been doing to the piece… His words “I Love it!” 

Not only did we have a skype rehearsal we also had another film crew come in and film part of the piece this time for the 175 year celebration York St John has been open. This was an interesting experience for us as company because we were able to work with someone who has worked professionally in the film and TV business. This video will be airing in the next few weeks and we are thrilled to be a part of these celebrations. 

Unfortunately we regret to tell you that our tour to Oldham College this Friday has had to be cancelled due to the college preparing for their final performances. 

On another note there is only three weeks until we jet of to France to be reunited with Dimitri and perform Moon Eaters alongside his company.

Until next time
