Day 16/17: Rehearsal - Welcome to the Family

So here they are! Outside, running about, causing mischief! In these rehearsals we experimented with the hatchlings, finding focus, detail of walk and breath. Each hatchling has emerged with their own character and we can start to see how the Lyma Birds interact with one another. From SQUARKS! to MAWWS! to CAWWS! we were able to build a language of noise and sound that belonged to the Lyma Bird. 

We also worked further on the relationship between Dr. Newbury and the mother bird, tightening the opening of the show. We were also at the end of the day able to take them outside and roam around a local park (to the confusion of the locals!), this gave us an idea how they might work outside on unpredictable terrain.

Just a few little tweaks and we are ready to premiere at Medway Fuse Festival!
