Yesterday a madness and intensity was set free. Weeks and months and hours of hard work culminated in 70 minutes of release, mayhem and ultimately, the end of our first show of Involution at The Pleasance Dome.
Blogs are supposed to be an honest account of stuff and thoughts and opinion and stuff so I thought I'd be a bit honest in this one...and stuff.
It's been hard. It's my first ever Edinburgh and I'm probably taken this production far too seriously but to get the first get-in and get-out and a bit of a play done feels AMAZING! At the time of writing this, we've actually also done our second show. I remember why I'm an actor again.
Today, we played. We had fun on stage. It got real, man! Admittedly, we only had three in the audience but meh! It's early and The Festival hasn't technically started yet so an average of 15 for the first two shows ain't half bad.
It's scary shit. If you think about this whole being on stage thing too much it just becomes ridiculous. Prancing around, waving arms and nodding heads and standing still and just being someone totally different for an hour. Okay, I've been a professional actor for over 4 years now and have luckily had quite a bit of experience, but it never gets easy. Why should it? Life isn't easy. Relationships aren't easy. So why should portraying that, be easy!?
But coming out of that oblivion yesterday, was astonishing. We are in this now. We are at the festival. We are loving it. Mokita Productions and team Involution here for a month. Don't miss us!
