Forbidden Phoenix - Final Day of Banff Workshop
We just did a run through of the second act with all the changes. It was rough and there are still bits that need to be cleaned up and the actors need time to let the story sink in, but the thing held together pretty well. My director and I agreed there's one bit with the Iron Dragon that needs to be revisited. The arrival of the creature has been promised from the top of the show, and we have to deliver something pretty awesome and give Horne a chance to relish his victory before Monkey King takes it away. I'm going to try to do a quick and ugly pass on an idea of a scene before I go off to Mexico tomorrow. Nothing worse than leaving a scene unwritten for a week and then trying to plug back into the process. If I can get a rough sketch before I go, I'll be fine to polish when I get back.
Yay! First part of the workshop is done. When we're back in Edmonton in April, it's all about the performance and clean up.
