Not so good. I played a gig on Sunday which was brilliant and I went to a music festival on Sunday which was brillianter. However I am now really falling behind: 7 days to go and my costume is still complete. Hamlet is going alright, I squeezed a couple run-throughs into today.
My improvisation on Ornithology is improving, I need to focus on Tenor Madness equally.
I'm still not making much progress on the devised piece. I've been taking the approach of waiting until the costume is complete before I finish building the piece. Seems lazy but the nature of the play makes me believe I won't be able to really design or know what it's going to be like until I've finished the character. This character, oddly enough, relies almost entirely on his costume. To build the character you have to move around as he moves, but without this costume, I have no idea how the character moves. I have to obtain tires very, very shortly, and even then I still don't have forearm crutches. I should pour everything I have into the Macbeth piece and hope for the best. I wonder if I should have a backup piece.
I most definitely should have a backup piece. Another movement piece, in response to something. Prinicpia Discordia, Myth of Sisyphus: are what I keep coming back to.
I've read Sisyphus and will sleep on it.
