Back in storage, I began pulling racks out and out of the way to start on the coat rack in the back and the the second double men's rack. We started with the men's double rack. Mr. John again went through pulling items we did not need. This rack consisted of suiting, shirts, and sweats. By the time he was finished we had room for the items not yet on the rack yet, and some. Next we moved onto the men's pants. There are way too many pairs of pants. Yet, it was difficult choosing which ones to let go. As quick as Mr. John as pulling items I tried to equally as quickly fold and pack them.
Next up, the coats! The company has so many fabulous coats. It was even harder to pick ones to get rid of. Luckily with a little squeezing and shifting we were able to fit them all. We had gotten through the whole rack, and discovered there were still more on the rack outside. Like, I said, with some squeezing Mr. John was able to make it work. After two days in storage we have both men's racked cleaned and organized, one women's rack cleaned and organized and the coats! We have also be able to clear one full rack with all the items we have gotten rid of. The plan is to clear one more, and have one empty one to keep in storage to pull items for up coming shows. Mr. John left around 12:30 and I continued to bag. Once, I was all bagged and cleaned up, I headed to drop the bags at Barkin' Basement and then to the office!
I arrived to find my to do list ready and waiting for me. So glad I made that, or else I would've never remembered. I'm finding the importance of writing things down, as my work continues here. I began by doing some shredding, and then took care of the recycle. Two very quick and easy jobs. I then sat down and began logging the new season again. I have now managed to add two complete shows to the system!
Monologue work with Ms. Denise went fairly well. I went through the two monologues and we discussed how I did. I could tell I was not fully connected to the Shakespeare, and towards the end of my contemporary piece I got a little wonky. I could feel that I needed to be more in my body in the moment in each. We discussed the circumstances I had set up for the second monologue and decided it needed more urgency. Ms. Denise also gave me some tips on my transition from one monologue to the next. Before we meet again I'm going to play around with some transitions. We also decided my Shakespeare may not be the best for me, so Ms. Denise pulled another one for me to look at, along with a few contemporary ones to choose from. I'm excited to start work on some new monologues, and find the right fit for Shakespeare, I know I struggle with that. When I return from break I'm also going to try and work with Beth (Jean, Dead Man's Cell Phone) on my voice work!
I started some more reading towards the end of the day. I am now on my twelth play. Right now I am reading Strike-Slip which was featured in the Humana Festival in 2007. I really like it so far. The cast is very racially mixed, and I like how the playwright plays into that. The characters are portrayed in such an interesting way. I will for sure be doing a lot of reading this weekend :) Until Tomorrow...
