Alice is finished!

We finished Alice a little more than a week ago – and it feels good. It was really amazing to be able to perform a show more than 40 times in about a 2.5 month period – I can hardly imagine doing a show fewer times! I loved that part of it.

Things I learned doing the show:

1. I like doing handstands.
2. Having a large role, making all of the costumes, and organizing transportation for everyone is too many jobs to have all at once.
3. I LOVE being thrown around semi-acrobatically, semi-dancewise.
4. Industrial-strength velcro is really the only kind of velcro worth getting.
5. Doing two shows a day is pretty exhausting.
6. Doing a show 40+ times is amazing in terms of how deeply it lets you get to know the piece, how it helps you really feel the timing, and gain the ability to take risks onstage.

Much much MUCH more, but I have tons of Chinese homework due tomorrow.
