More Rehearsals - The Return of the Clowns

This week the actors came back: Kitri's father, the man he wants her to marry, and Sancho Panza. Complete clowns, all three. Not that I don't respect them, but they do bring out the clown in me. On Tuesday Won Mi even had to tell us to stop goofing around while she was rehearsing one of the dancers. I didn't realise how much I missed having them around. It would take too long to relate all of the shtick and pratfalls we bounced off each other, and you really had to be there to get the jokes. Suffice it to say we often had the gaggle of dancers in stitches. I just hope Won Mi doesn't get fed up with our shenanigans. We're starting to hit the doldrums where we've learned the better part of our roles and are just rehearsing and re-rehearsing. It's still three weeks until the performance. I'll try to behave, but dancing an addle-pated septuagenarian does take an awful lot of concentration.
