Things I Love Thursday: the busiest week edition

[pipistrellafelix]

Time for this week's edition of things I love, made more necessary by the fact that I am feeling super harried this week (stage combat adjudication + prepping & painting for Hedda + helping with other designs = too much on top of work). 

* Aerial performance. Tomorrow night I'm part of the pre-show for the No Surrender show at Emerald City Trapeze--Simmone's girls (me included!) are going to be up in the air doing ambient hoop in shifts before the real stuff gets underway. This means not a lot of tricks and more slow moving, cool poses, attitude all over kind of performing, which I am all over. First time performing aerial of any kind! Plus the costumes are ridiculous. If there are photos, I will share!  On a mostly-related point, duo aerial is so fun and I want to do more of it.

* Casting. I quite literally forgot that I was going to be in Kelly's Bathhouse Ensemble show this summer until Charlotte sent out the cast list, and it was a nice reminder that I'm going to be on stage with people I love! (Plus the Schmee invited me to audition for their next show, and regardless of casting, being asked always gives me a nice fuzzy feeling.)

*Watching tech for Pilgrims Musa and Sheri. Much of Tuesday I spent sitting in the dark theater watching them tech through the show, and it was both exciting and relaxing to simply sit and watch fantastic artists make beautiful things into a reality. Plus this show is going to be incredible: here is the website, if you are in Seattle, come and see...

*Mystery novels on my phone. I got the Kindle app on my phone nearly on day one, and have been downloading free classics ever since. I worked my way through all of the Sherlock Holmes that the Kindle store could offer me, and am now moving onto Agatha Christie. It's especially fun when I forget to bring a book on the bus or train, get disappointed for a moment and then remember I have five books on my phone. Oh technology, sometimes I do love you.

* &etc: leftover chocolates from Arms and the Man; having allies in adversity; not fighting over things that so many people would; waking up to sun in the morning; tea.
