AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
Merde!
No pleasure, no fun, coming on like a fascist, no laughs, totally vulnerable in the space but also totally unusable on stage.
Today was the biggest flop yet, I'm freefalling waiting to hit the bottom and hoping that it is a trampoline.
Conclusion from today: I'm not funny.
Boo-hoo.
Perhaps, tomorrow I will be.
Hey Mark, Gareth here - just writing to say I know where you're coming from but keep plugging at it: sounds like you've had some successes on the course already, and if you've done it before, you can do it again. I enjoy your updates; I read them every day.
ReplyDeleteI've got a 10 minute set with a friend at Embryo on Friday, where I may get to explore a little clown, hoping to use the things I've learned from you, Alice, Aitor and Monsieur Gaulier. I'll let you know how it goes. Good luck! I hope to catch up with you soon.
