Day 473: The Human Bicycle

Now, in reading the title of this, you are probably thinking that this is one of the random posts I was talking about, but this is actually relevant to the rehearsal process.

We are doing a very avant-garde version of She Loves Me. It is a very minimalist production. There isn't much of a set and what there is of a set, ensemble actors enhance the set by becoming inanimate objects such as doors, hat stands, and you guessed it bicycles.

The top of the show has the shop's errand boy ride onstage on a bicycle. Because of the concept of our production and our brilliant movement director, we were able to turn people into the bike, and then after he gets off the bike, the bike group morph back into people who are window shopping at the store.

This human bike establishes right from the start that this isn't going to be your typical version of She Loves Me. Instead, it will be a stripped down version that really allows the story to come to life in its raw state of innocent truth.

So much creative genius is involved in this production, that all I can say is I LOVE IT HERE!!!
