Goodbye Frankfurt

After two very different performances and some serious late night cleaning we have left Frankfurt after a great residency. Thank you to everyone at Mousonturm for making us feel so welcome and thank you to all the other Plateaux artists and audience members that gave us such invaluable feedback.

Leaving our Rehearsal Space

We are packing up our rehearsal space today and installing ourselves into our performance space until the performance.  We will be sad to leave this lovely light and airy space but perhaps it's in good time as there is a slight smell of gone-off milk due to our work with cream and slightly less than perfect cleaning efforts!

Rehearsal Images

How do you integrate specific images within a task based/improvised structure? Any comments?

The cups have arrived!

Let the 'smashing' teatime rituals commence...

One week on

Today the chairs arrived in their lighter, more elegant incarnation!

They were soon fixed down by the uber efficient technicians and safe to climb.

Its been a good week of rehearsals. We have been working hard on our deconstructing text, and negotiating the line between task based and choreographed performance. 

For those of you familiar with our earlier versions of 'fine bone china' you will be pleased to know that the quality of the wolves are slowly returning to haunt our delicate stage world...more updates soon.

The day the chairs came

Today Lucy and I were interrupted mid-script, standing with tea-cups on our heads, to hear the wonderful news that our 6ft" tall chairs had arrived!

We are exited and nervous about the delights that await us in mastering the tall chair, high-heel and tea-cup combination...... watch this space and wish us luck!

Frankfurt: Easter Weekend

Yesterday we went to a flea market beside the river. We saw pink blossom, German Sausage, painted eggs hanging in trees, rugs and rugs and rugs and fur coats and yellow blossom and china lambs. We bought a silver teapot to drop from a great height. We ate apfel strudel and drank erdinger. We saw a performer climb ladder mountains, converse with pina and wait for pictures in a blond wig.

Today we went to our wonderful rehearsal space at mousonturm. 

We have a made a very good plan of action!

We went to a bar with a moose on the wall.
