Post Mortem - Notes from The Summer Lab

Posted by Wil Knoll in Stage Craft on Jul 20 2010 03:37

Week 1

First day we do quick introductions and then talk about what the lab will hold. Each labbit is given a notebook and assigned a Yoga mat. We finish the day with beers in One Yellow Rabbits' The Big Secret Theatre and are told that "This is your home, your space". The rest of the week falls into the schedule quickly. 2 hours of yoga in the morning, quick break, movement work, lunch. After lunch we work with text.

Oh, the power of chocolate.

Believers in the capability of the cocoa bean know the scenes well.

French actress Juliette Binoche plays the graceful and charming chocolatier who stirs it up and serves it up hot, cold, frothy, in cakes, cookies, even with a touch of chili; in the process the bosomy beauty sets off a fire storm of passion in small town France, simply by mixing up cream and cocoa with the precision of a pharmacist and the love of a chef.
