Consulting for Theatre
I've just finished consulting for a great new piece of theatre that will tour the UK from the end of May this year (2008).
I got a call from the Stage Manager (a friend of mine) who wanted to see if I could produce a snake from the mouth of one of the actors... you know, like you do. What's more, the actor doesn't speak English (he's Chinese and speaks Mandarin) and one of the venues means that the audience will be watching from three sides. So not great angles then.
Having found a method, I spent yesterday evening teaching the actor the illusion I'd created. The company (and more importantly the director) seemed pleased with it and I look forward to seeing the final production at The Barbican Theatre in London.
