Production Postmortem

The meeting started with a viewing on a laptop of some really great still photographs of women clowns on stage by a photographer who was there at the theater.

What was clear in the photographs is that we’re fascinating people every one of us and as a group we are amazing.

Creative process, generating material, and camaraderie were barely mentioned during the table discussion.  That’s what I like to talk about because that’s what I find fascinating.  But, no matter, those kinds of conversations too easily become wide-ranging and unruly.  We had a limited amount of time to cover the topics at hand so we talked about production tasks and rehearsal schedules.   I have new insight into how I will approach my work with this group next time.

Tasty savory crackers and yummy chocolate holiday treats gave the Clown Axioms postmortem discussion a holiday party feel.

Watching the clock…  How much can I get done before I have to leave?  I have two and a half hours before I have to leave for the theatre.  My Kid has Robotics after school today and The Husband is planning to leave work early to pick her up, so I don’t have to leave in half an hour to pick her up.  I have a whole two and a half hours in the apartment.

I should take a shower.  I didn’t get one this morning in the rush to get My Kid to school.  I definitely should not go into a 5 hour rehearsal without having showered today.

I just got back from Trader Joe’s.  I didn’t think I had gotten that much but when I got outside I realized it would be hard to carry the 3 bags all the way from Court and Atlantic to the subway at Jay Street.  So, I called a car service.  I hadn’t planned to call a car.  If I had I would have bought more groceries.  Well, I bought frozen enchiladas, the kind My Kid likes, they can have that for dinner tonight while I’m at rehearsal.  I also got apples, clementines, carrots and mini yoghurts for her lunch.  But, I forgot the maple syrup for her toaster waffles and the fruit bars she said she likes in her lunch.  Me, I’ve been living on Odwalla Super Protein and bananas and coffee for quite some time.  I’m too busy running around to eat. Unless I can sit down with The Husband I’m just not interested.

Enough of this blogging.  I need to get the front room organized enough so The Husband and My Kid can make dinner and do homework (IT’S ALL ABOUT THEM) and I need get together some makeup to put on.  Kendall said there would be a photographer at rehearsal tonight.  I need to draw on some eyes and lips so I won’t be featureless under the stage lights (IT’S ALL ABOUT ME).

IT’S ALL ABOUT TIME.
