The morning of the show was a little slow due to some problems with the computers in the tech box, however, in spite of the technical difficulties in the morning, we managed to do a cue-to-cue and as well as a whole dress run in front of two tutors. They gave us feedback on specific scenes which we were able to work on after the lunch break. I managed to source three UV bars so we spent quite a while rehearsing under the dark UV conditions. As there are many lifts involved in the “space sequence” it is paramount that all the actors had a chance to rehearse under these lighting conditions to make sure they could still conduct all the lifts safely. We got a fantastic reception from the audience to our first show and I believe if we had more time to develop to some of the more intricate scenes it could really become a fantastic show! On reflection having come to the end of our process now that we have had experience with fundraising I think we could really expand this going forward. As well as fundraising I feel like we have learnt a lot about creating a show from scratch as an ensemble. The devising process was probably the most time-consuming part of our journey as a theatre company. We had so many ideas it was hard to filter them to decide which ones we were going to take forward into this show. Now that we have finished Kalopsia and it was successful we might go back to some of those earlier ideas and further explore where they might take us as a company.
