Beginning a theater blog

This will be a blog in which I will try to record thoughts, impressions and experiences about theater. Theater has been in my life since I was three, so I guess there's a lot of material floating in my brain. Who knows what will make its way through the labyrinth and into cyberspace.

Tonight is another nicht of juggling. We have four different performances in three days coming up. Just the logistiks of loading and unloading costumes, props, masks, sets in our bus "Jack Pumpkin" makes my head spin. And then I have to think of performing at 150 % capability!

But the amazing thing is how quickly the sense memory works. We put up the set of "Waldzauber" in the rehearsel room and immediately the story of the two old ladies in the magical forest came to life. Only a few minutes before I was completely immersed in the world of animal neighbors that we are creating with the French kids in Colmar. And on Thursday night the smell of the mask interiors, the way the masks press into my face and the first sounds of Ro's music will no doubt - knock on wood - immediately bring the baroque world of "Wentzingers Dream" to life.

So... I have to keep a watch on tomorrow's lunch, which is simmering on the stove. I think that's a satisfying start. A lot of the themes that I want to write about already springing out onto the virtual page.
