After working intensely on both shows last week – Apocalypse 2009, in particular – at Ross Creek, during our only truly luxurious rehearsal situation since the 3-day PARC workshop last December, our p/reviews kicked off last night. Two shows, an open space/dance floor, four actors, a few neighbours, strangers, friends in the audience.
"What is, after all, the essence of theatre? The dressing room...?"
(The new Menz Bar includes a dressing room for DaPoPo, which doubles, magically, as a coat check.)
Last night, we donned our red T-shirts and toques for Four Actors in Search of a Nation, DaPoPo's inaugural script, a good four years after its initial creation.
The two-year (with intervals) labyrinthine creation process for Apocalypse 2009 brought us back to the beginning: the excitement of creation.
