Three amazing aspects of our third day at the Globe.

Our second movement class was with Glyn. We focussed on the elements. The elements, earth, water, air and fire each have a freeze. Each element has an energy of its own, a bag of emotions or traits. We explored each of these in  pairs. It’s really interesting to see how each of the elements feel, and the transition from one element to another.

We got our parts for our shortened version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream today. Colin has cast it as an ensemble. I am one of four Hermias.  Although I struggle to like Hermia, I really like my scene. She is having a bit of a hissy fit at Demetrius because she thiks he has killed her husband to be (Act 3, scene 2).  Our Midsummer Night’s Dream follows the interlinked story of the lovers and the fairies.

After getting comfortable with our new ‘home’, we ventured out of our haven of Southwark to go to the theatre in the Leicester Sq.  A smaller group of us went to see ‘Avenue Q’. Described as an adult musical, its a take-off from Sesame Street. Having no idea what the show was about, the first song “It sucks to be you” came as a surprise. Definitely one of the funniest, creative shows I have seen.
