I went to see a ballet today, an adaption of Shakespeare’s A Winter’s Tale featuring one of the guys from The Drama Society. I’ve never been much of a fan of ballet due to the need to read the plot before you start, but I really enjoyed this one. It might be because I’m now a student and therefore cultured, or more likely it’s because the music used was… well. Not what you’d expect from a ballet.
System of a Down. Aerosmith. Muse. Rammstein.
Awesome.
So, Teechers is finally over. We can all now sit back, relax, and reflect on just how awesome a job we all actually did in spite of a very not-easy road to get there involving some of us (aka Nick the Awesome Stage Manager Person) fighting wind, rain, hail, snow, B&Q, ScrewFix, the SU, the AU, the Lincoln traffic light control centre, flat batteries and just about everything else in order to build the sets.
Which, because I’m the Awesome Stage Manager Person, actually look almost exactly the same as the design drawings. They fold down into easily moveable packs which fit at least two to a small car, and with a bit of simple assembly and some bolting together turn into 80cm wide, 2.4m high wheeled flats with Velcro tags suitable for attaching all manner of pre-printed scenery to.
