Bristol Rehearsal Week
So, instead of going all the waay to oxford every day or clitheroe for the week, we decided to go for the simpler option of Bristol's Trinity Church. WRONG!!!! we knew it was going to be a challenge after the site visit, but when the rest of the crew arrived we were confronted with the get in which was up 3 flights of stairs. uh.oh......
We eventually got everything in, and after the small matter of shaving a metre off the width of the truss we had finished for the day. Certain casualties had been aquired by the crew, including Sam and Sam's comedy 'sliding the van door on the arm' routine, but the most severe (for the rest of us) accident was that craig managed to tear rather large holes in the crotch of both his shorts and jeans. Almost a whole role of gaffa later we could open our eyes again.
The week went by fairly well, with alot of hard work put in by the crew and cast. our jobs involved fixing some broken mac 250 Kryptons and looming up all of our soca and dmx tails into ugly looking tentacles. The new cast members did a fantastic job and have taken up their new roles with great success. but this is the crew blog so thats enough about them.... once the gear is all set up the crew have to just run the show for rehearsals, which leaves plenty of time to build things, destroy things and have a lot of fun along the way. Here are some pictures of what we got up to...
This week saw our Sam Hocking spending time with Phil from Wigwam, learning the ins and outs of doing sound for the show, and hopefully soon he will be op-ing the desk at regular shows.
Craig can be seen as happy as a pig in well.. you get the idea. This is becuase he got to cut up wood with power tools. the lesser spotted (working) technician in his true natural habitat is indeed a wonder to behold. Craig was actually doing a good job here, building a serious ramp (fun slide) to get all the flightcases back down stairs for the get out.
On the way out we discovered that there were some branches in the way for the artic to get out. Not any more!!
All in all it went well, we worked very hard, and had lots of fun, whilst still being close enough for a trip home to our own beds every night.
