Tonight once again begins the lovely stretch of time known to me as Hell Week. More often than not the days between the start of technical rehearsals and a show opening aren't as bas as I fear they will be, I have a big of a feeling that this particular show will be far worse than I can possibly anticipate. It is the Student Choreography Showcase, performed by the Dance Club at the College I work for. I am, as per usual functioning at Lighting Designer and Master Electrician, the only disadvantage to this is the amount of hours I put in result in the usual gripe of the working man. I don't usually have a great deal of issue with designing for dance concerts, but my fear on this production is that there will be a repeat of prior years events and circumstances; ie: choreographers not showing up for their scheduled rehearsals, dancers not knowing their choreography, and the choreographers having no idea how the want to piece to look, but everything that is suggested to them is 'silly looking'. So, all that being said, I plan on having a very short tolerance with these students. i'm not going to bend over backwards to make their lives easier by any means. They will get the lighting design that they put in the time to agree on. If they dont show up, they get a white washed stage and nothing else.
Now then, onto happier things, I will once again hear the sweet song of her voice caressing my ears and mind.
I <3 the things she does to me.
