There will be three performances, starting on the 25th of August already. This means I will have an intensive but fun rehearsal schedule for the coming weeks. At most three times, on Thursday, Sunday and Monday.
The first rehearsal was a lot of fun and I met forty Australians in one go. They are theatrical (meaning loud with a lot of arm movements) and funny. After rehearsals we went to the Broadway bar. Afterwards some people were so kind to give me a lift home, but it was quite a hassle, as there are many one-way streets in Sydney.
The next day I had a good night's and a good morning's sleep. I had set my alarm clock, but somehow it failed to go off and I woke up at ten to one. After a hasty breakfast I went to Cockatoo island with Harm. This is the biggest island in the Sydney harbour and it was hosting a free contemporary art exhibition. It was quite impressive due to the cloudy day and the abonded industrial site look of the island. Most of the artworks were videos. They ranged from people pingponging over a naked woman to transvesites appearing out of mushrooms.The one I liked best was actually quite simple,it was a room full of green baskets hanging from the wall.
All in all it was an interesting afternoon, but I must say that I prefer oldschool art above contemporary art.
When we got back we made some delicious pasta with homemade sauce. In the evening we went to the cruise bar, which looks over the harbour including opera house, because a girl we met here was celebrating her birthday. Today we will be preparing for our own party, which I hope will turn out to be great (and leave our house intact) and leave me with a voice so I can still sing when auditioning for songs on the revue on Sunday.
