YTG

We’re into week two of rehearsals
More people have joined us! This week we added Anna (who also left this week) and Claire
I’m having some trouble slotting Claire in because she’s much more focused on the management side. But we’ll figure it out
Monique, the movement instructor was away this week so
- Monday: Clara ran the rehearsal and then we did some devising and playing with scenes in the afternoon
- We realized doing this that a lot of the group members don’t have experience doing non-literal work and go into pantomime when not allowed to speak
- Flavia worked through some of the ideas she’d come up with back in the winter
- I did a lot of dying
Wednesday AM we went to the YTG storage container so I could make sure everyone knows where it is
- Clara and Flavia got excited about organizing it, so it looks like that is going to happen this summer, too
  - I’m so happy
We got back to the space and set up our “safe word” for the summer (Bungalow)
We worked on some more ideas in the afternoon, mostly centered around archetypal family relationships

NERD NITE

Nerd Nite is next Friday. Let me know if you need a free ticket
In July, we try a new venue
- First time back in Tokyo since the pandemic
I really want to ditch our current ticket provider (too expensive) and self-host

AUDIO PROJECTS

FINALLY, Anna Murray and I coordinated and were able to meet yesterday
- Review: Anna is the incredible sound designer and composer who worked on the first two pandemic shows
- We caught up and I was able to talk to her about the “Yesterday” project
- So, we now have a sound designer for that; I have one possible cast member
- Things are moving slowly forward

PHOTOGRAPHY

No major photography updates this week
Was planning to attend an online seminar last night about how to sell photos. It was mostly a bait-and-switch, but there are a couple of things I may be able to apply to my work (and the few landscape style photos I have online)
