Hauser 'I made you a submarine' Tour All Wrapped Up

Hauser Rehearsals and Forthcoming Tour

Good News!

I am returned from 4 days rehearsals with Hauser at greenroom, which went by in a blur of long days and short night. The performance we are devising is to be called I Made You a Submarine. It is scheduled for an Arts Council-funded tour, the dates are:

Thursday 16th October, Alsager Arts Centre, Alsager;
Friday 17th October, greenroom, Manchester,
Wednesday 12th & Thursday 13th November, Leeds Met Studio Theatre, Leeds,
Thursday 11th February, Nuffield Theatre, Lancaster, Saturday 14th February, ICIA Bath.

Rehearsals were long, but very productive, and it feels like we are in a much better position now than we were a month ago after two weeks in Lancaster. I'm not going to get into this too deeply here, I don't want to give much away, but I think it's shaping up to be an interesting show, and I feel like I'm learning a lot.

Hauser Rehearsals

Yes, next week (Tuesday 26th - Friday 29th) Hauser will be in rehearsal at Manchester's greenroom. So the next couple of days should see me walking aimlessly around the house trying to learn my lines. Rehearsing will be a welcome break from endless applications I've been doing since we last rehearsed, and it will be great to see Neil, Simone, Anthea, Anna and Alice again. Rather by chance Swen turned up here last Tuesday night with Christian, a friend from Germany having walked over from Edale. A surprise but then, Swen is very surprising.
Last time we rehearsed it went well, and on the last day a lot of changes freshened up two weeks worth of work so I'm eager to get back and see what we have. The costumes should be getting towards done, and a lot of the set as well.

More soon

Just got back from Hauser researsals...

I have been keeping this a bit quiet, but I am currently working with an ensemble under the direction of Swen Steinhauser (former artistic director of Deer Park). Also in the company are Anna Wilson (CHIRP, Plane, imitating the dog), Alice Booth (itd), Simone Kenyon (Brief Magnetics, former Deer Park), Neil Callaghan (Propeller) and Anthea Lewis, a London-based dancer and choreographer.
We have just spent two fatiguing weeks in rehearsal at the Gregson Centre and the Nuffield, Lancaster. Its an interesting process, having never been directed in a piece of theatre before, and I count myself lucky to be working with these performers. More on this soon.
