It really was crunch time. And our second to last day at the Globe.

Unfortunately we had our workshop with Stuart Pearce that day. Unfortunate because it was our one and only. Stuart is incredible. We did relaxation and breathing. We focussed on finding our note. Our signature note, which is our powerful healing voice. He also related our resonating chambers to the different elements. It is great to keep make new connetions and understandings between things I have learnt while being here. I have never heard of our voice being talked about in that way, I was trying to soak it all up. I left wanting to know more, and learn more.

We then had Glyn for the last time. We did a run through and Glyn was wonderful in tiding up our movement sequences. It was a rather sad occasion when the time came to say goodbye. We had worked with Glyn several times. I really admire her, and feel that I have her workshops have been beneficial in many ways.

After another quick rehearsal with Colin. The time arrived. We were in tip-top shape after having both a voice and movement workshop. A few jittery nervs here and there.

There really are no words to describe what it was like to be up there. It was everything. My heart was racing, my mind thinking way too many thoughts. But at the same time I felt focussed, and calm and (like I said) everything. I feel that the performance went really well. I enjoyed it, and I’m sure the audience did also.

After our performance we sung. We sung to thank the Globe and everyone that worked with us. We sung to Shakespeare and  his buddies. We sung to London.  It was truly special, to be up there representing Aotearoa.

This will be something that I will never forget.
