A little introduction...

So That Day is in four days and for all you lucky people that have found our blog, we will be giving you some daily updates. This includes anything from how things are going in the rehearsal room, what the technical team are doing, sneaky peeks of the show or just some general musings on leaving!

For those of you who don't know, the third year Theatre students at Hull University, Scarborough Campus are making their last full ensemble piece with the nationally recognised Rachael Walton of Third Angel. 

That Day explores the notion of leaving a place, saying good bye and the fear of the new, the company have been experimenting with sound, video, performance and dance to create a truly special multi – media experience across all three of the University’s performance spaces.

This is a piece for anybody who has had to say good bye and start afresh, from the solider on his first billing to the refugee forced to leave his country, from a university student off to college to the mother left behind.

So what did we do today? 

Everything is very busy at the minute, as you would expect with only four days to go. The technical team are hard at work bringing to life all their designs. All we will say is... suitcases, bamboo and a lot of string.

The performers looked at the first section of the show and finalised the text and movement which went swimmingly. It took us a tad longer than expected but you can't rush a good thing (and we think its pretty good so far).

Tomorrow we will be looking at the middle section of the show and doing lots and lots of tech as it’s the get in! So we have our hard hats and steel toecap boots at the ready. 

Just a little side note, tickets are still free but are going fast. Thursday 26^th February is now completely full but there are still eight tickets left for Friday 27^th February so ring 07961251632 to reserve yours today!

See you tomorrow!
