Yesterday was my first day in the wardrobe shop. It was fun to get back to sewing again. I was only given small jobs like slip stitching, which I enjoy, but I was still nervous and felt slightly inadequate compared to the others who have several years experience with the company. I'll get better and more confident as my time with the company progresses.
I got shown around the backstage of the Adams Theatre... If I went around on my own I would undoubtably get lost! Working with wardrobe will definately take some getting used to. Last night I watched the run through of The Merchant of Venice. It was a really good performance, made me laugh and I had to hold back tears at one point as well. It also gave me the opportunity to cheat a little - I sat with the cast sheet in an attempt to learn all the actors' names.
Today's my 3rd day here and it's been constant days of meeting new people so names will definately be a struggle for me to remember.
I went into the costume shop to work again today, but generally it was more chilled out, I got to sit by the pool and enjoy the sunshine. Also our second housemate Liz has moved in so it's a full house and a bit more lively which is good!
Like last night, I'm viewing a run-through tonight, this time... Macbeth!
