2Faced Dance Company – Blog… Week 6 - By Luke Jessop
a.k.a. ‘Lukey Lashes’
Week 6 of the In The Dust tour was a relatively quiet
week in terms of performances (there’s never actually a quiet week with
2Faced!), we only had 2 performances that week.
We were still staying in our lovely cottages, Bilton Barns, just outside
of Alnwick and we had enjoyed a nice quiet day off on Thursday. On Friday we had the show in Hexham at the
Queens Hall. This was a lovely theatre
in sleepy old Hexham. When we arrived at
the theatre we all went off to find our lunch of choice, Hugh and I chose a
nice sandwich bar, I had a wrap called ‘The Big One’…they weren’t lying, t’was
huge! The show in Hexham went well, the
stage was a bit smaller but was very intimate and such a nice theatre!
We then had a couple of days off, all heading home in
our different directions and with very fond memories of Northumberland and the
very lovely and accommodating Geordies!
Our next show was closer to home for some of the guys,
Malvern. We arrived in the lovely little
town and setup for the show. The show
went really well and was on a lovely and big stage. We also had a post-show talk after the show
and came across some of the usual questions like: “What’s the pig-mask about?”
but we also had a lot of interesting questions that we’d never been asked
before so it gave us some refreshing things to think about.
The day after, we had rehearsals back in Hereford for
our performance in Bulgaria, some of the cast may not be able to make the show
so we all helped teach Lewis and Nath the material for Tam’s piece. We also bumped into National Dance Company of
Wales whilst rehearsing at The Courtyard, they were performing there that
night. We were kindly invited to be able
to do class with them in the afternoon and then we watched their show and then
had a few drinks with the company after…and they were lovely. And so concludes Week 6…Next stop Ipswich!!
