100 - REHEARSALS

One hundred rehearsals? Wouldn't that be nice!

The reality is somewhat more restricted however. The rehearsal period is actually very short for this type of play which explains why the cast are going at it hammer and tongs.

100 is a play that demands a perfectly-tuned ensemble of players; five distinct voices working together as one instrument.

With this in mind the cast are bravely devoting generous quantities of what little time they have to facilitating connectedness.

As such the first 40 minutes of each rehearsal are spent opening up the senses in order that the cast may function as a cohesive unit.

Once group kinesthetic awareness kicks in, the devising begins.

And that's when the magic happens!

Great cast, doing a great job. Long may they prosper.
