Hovdala Slott / Hovdala Castle

Igar akte jag hem till JoAnna, var koreograf, for att jobba med Nattdans pa Hovdala. Ingen annan dansare kunde komma igar, sa vi bokade av var studio och jobbade framfor datorn istallet. Vi gick igenom den koreografiska ide som hon har lagt upp och jag som inte kommer vara med kunde med ett oga utifran, lite som publikens oga, stalla fragor om varfor si och sa. Vi jobbade pa bra och vi fick mycket gjort. Det ar bra att lagga en bas nu innan de ska dit for de har inte sa mycket tid nar de val ar dar. Saker kommer att andras naturligtvis. Aven om vi minns platsen och aven jobbar utifran bilder, sa har man alltid lite bilder som sen inte kommer att fungera. Men ju mer forberedda de kan vara innan, desto battre saklart.
Nu har vi paus i rehearsals igen. Koreografen ska ivag och undervisa pa andra platser i USA. Jag hinner sen vara med pa ett rehearsal innan jag aker till Sverige. Eftersom det ar lugnare nu ska jag forsoka gora en massa andra grejer.

Yesterday I went JoAnna’s home, our choreographer, to work on Nattdans pa Hovdala. No other dancer could come yesterday, so we cancelled our studio and worked on the computers instead. We went through the whole choreographic idea that she had and since I’m not gonna be a part of it I could with an outside eye, little like the audience eye, ask questions about this and that. We did a good job and got a lot done. It’s good to make a base now before they are going there cause they will not have that much time once they are there. Things will change of course. Even if we remember the site and also work from pictures, you always have images of things that will not work later. But the more we can prepare now before, the better of course.
Now we have a break from rehearsals again. The choreographer will teach at other places in USA. I have time to come to one rehearsal before I’m off to Sweden. Since it’s slower now, I will try to do a lot of other things.
