I had an unexpected windfall/change of plans this morning. I turned up to a stage management job and no-one was around. I called my contact who then informed me that the call time had been pushed back by a couple of hours. At 8:30am this is not always the best news as I'd battled traffic to get there on time. This could have been a major inconvenience, however it was such a beautiful morning and I was by the beach. So I spent a lovely hour or so wandering along the beach front and on the pier, then went for a coffee and read the paper. All in all, a fabulously relaxed morning. Unfortunately I hadn't brought my camera so I had to make do with the iphone.
The past few days I've been working on a show called the Grimstones. It's primarily a puppet show and it's amazing. The puppetry is exceptional and the the puppets really come alive. It's a kids show but also entertaining for adults. You can read more about it here.
Tonight I went to Roller Derby for the first time and I loved it. It's such a crazy sport but very entertaining. By the end we were getting the hang of all the rules, but I think I'd need to go again to really understand it. It's so fast and action packed, it was hard to take it all in at once. There was a big crowd there though and they were getting right into it, so the atmosphere was great.
