Bienvenue bazie, in rehearsal
Day three – The third day in the studio is always the hardest. I find there’s a hump to climb over every time I begin a process. The body is sore from trying new material, the mind is cluttered with ideas not yet realized and without clear direction of how to explore them. For Bienvenue and I it was also a day of repeat trips to the Embassy to finalize his visa and that meant rehearsal started 2 hours late. It is easy to walk away or to choose to end a rehearsal early when you’re working alone, in a sense giving up. We managed to stay in the room, as they say, and poke around at some new phrases, though I will admit I am looking forward to the day after the hump.
