Workshop: Day 19

(Friday)
Day of the first show. At 5:15 We ran the piece once, then did the show.

N fixes the camera because the USB cords are taped down too tight by P. (N tries to fix white balance on camera.) Sound issues continue, J is without an echo, but now A has an echo –high/medium headset, not amplified by mic (back of house off). J&B can't hear A. N happy doing it with/ real PIG. 2 RATs.

During the show there are tech problems with AG video, the assistant doesn't’t know what to do, and P has to run back to the other side of the stage. The audience may not know it, but N (concerned over broadcast issue immediately before entrance) fumbles a line, M covers nicely. Is the media timing off?

1) Air: Mk breath in, Mo flute and air duet, wind chimes, P plays with Mo on image sequence on floor, Mo gesture Mk blow sound, exit
