Oops, Maria Stuart of course. For some infamous reason I always think of Don Carlos when I think of Schiller. I wonder why...

As for a f.. m.... k.....: Don't exaggerate!

I think I need to get back to my couch now...
It's calling my name...
"Maaaarco... come and lay down on me..."

And I just can't resist when someone makes such an attractive offer!

Guten Abend allerseits!

Mal ein kleiner Versuch den Thread wiederzubeleben!

Was macht ihr alle so?
Yessica - wie gehts der Karriere?
Guy - was macht das Studium und "Maria Stuart"?
Franklin - was macht Doppel-F ?

Ich mache gerade Leuchtdouble. Brech. Würg. Das ist langweilig und heiß.
Ansonsten darf ich immer noch dem Regisseur hinterherrennen, was aber nach wie vor Spaß macht und extrem lehrreich ist.
Allerdings merke ich wie ich geistig abbaue, dadurch,d ass ich 12 Stunden im Theater bin und sonst nix mache außer schlafen und ein bisschen fernsehn. Heute habe ich folgenden Staz gelesen:

"Ninotschka spielt zur Hochzeit des Kalten kriegs."

Ich habe mich bestimmt 15 Minuten gefragt, was da die Hochzeit soll und habe schließlich den Regisseur gefragt.
Der hat mich dann darüber aufgeklärt, dass hier niemand Heiratet, sondern dass es die Blüte des Kalten kriegs ist.
Ich habe das gefühl ich gehöre auf die Hauptschule. Wenn ich in München bin, gebe ich mein Abi zurück...

No, sorry Stage...
It was nearly 2am yesterday and I was too tired to write in english...
I'm currently at Gelsenkirchen, a small town in the west of germany, where I do that "Hospitanz"-Thing I wrote about. At the moment they do the lighting design and I had to be lighting double untill 2... it's absolutely boring...

Now it's 9:30, so I've been only seven hours out od the theatre...

[FranklinShepard-Inc.]

I guess the lighting's done now?

[Fiction Writer]

Posted: 9/15/06 at 5:09am

Yes, don't these new lights make my face look fabulous?

[M.Berger]

Posted: 9/15/06 at 5:57am

No - the lighting is far from beeing done. Unfortunatly our next chance to do "Leuchten" (the german expression for it) is on Thursday, which is quite bad, because we open on September 29th. I heard that the director said to the choreographer that they woul go to the "Intendant" (chief of the theatre) and ask for more time. It is difficult, because in Germany most theatres dont play only one play, but many different in one season, which means that sometimes you have to break up the rehearsels, because the stage has to be changed for the evening. In addition you have a steady ensemble in most german theatres - they play in every play they do within the season. Not everyone in every show, but almost. This is quite difficult, too, because for example one of the actors here is also in an opera they do tonight and isn't allowed by law to rehearse too much, when he has a performance in the evening. Ah, yes, come to think of it: german theatres do opera, operetta and musical.
Quite different, eh?

Well we all of course look fab in the right lighting .

Anyhow, maybe Gelsenkirchen overdoes it a bit with the lighting, seems to me it should be possible to have it done within two evenings. Unless of course noone has a plan about it before the beginning of the lighting rehearsal .

[M.Berger]

Posted: 9/15/06 at 7:18am

No, its more like: they hang everything and then they see a problem and have to hang things another way and so on...
And dont forget: its a "Stadttheater" (city-theatre = theatre, the city owns)! Noone does more than he has to...

[FranklinShepard-Inc.]

Posted: 9/15/06 at 10:17am

btw you got an email on my experiences today

Edit: just thinking about it, obviously they do even more than they'd have to do. After all they could have rather simple lighting that works and suits the situation. Not everyone has to have fireworks on stage like these dubious authors of the musical "Rock it!" lately

Edit: I forgot to mention what double-D, eh double-F is up to. I have the strange feeling, this man is planning to go to the USA at some time Updated On: 9/15/06 at 10:17 AM

Posted: 9/15/06 at 11:14am

Franklin, Rock it! had about 15 "Lichtstimmungen", a Musical on a Stadttheater has about 130 and Stage Entertainment 350. So much for that
No, you really can't imagine if you haven't been there - its very detailed, you almost cant tell the difference between one and the other. But thats how it is in music production for example, too...

One day we all go to America... Everyone has to... *madlygiggle*

[FranklinShepard-Inc.]

Posted: 9/15/06 at 11:33am

Well there you go, no need for so many .

Besides: what I said about "Rock it!" was meant a pun Updated On: 9/15/06 at 11:33 AM

Hola, amigos.
What's up with all these edits?

[FranklinShepard-Inc.]

Posted: 9/15/06 at 5:29pm

Hola Fiction

It's just I sometimes have so damn much to say. But I also can't wait to have it posted .

But such is life. I have learned to deal with it.

Why is never ever something happening here?
And - where is Yessica? She hasn't been only for years! I hope everything is allright in the UK!

Posted: 9/18/06 at 3:04am

M.Berger: I have some good news to tell you!

[Fiction Writer]

Posted: 9/18/06 at 3:48am

Tell me too!

You're not privileged.

*lol* I didn't get it.

But that's no news here...

Btw: I'll be later posting my review from the performance of the Threpenny Opera, yesterday, in Berlin. The one directed by former acadamy award nominated actor Klaus-Maria Brandauer. The one that got mixed to negative reviews . It wasn't that bad though, but later more of it...

Edit: Stagey, you're avatar has returned. Does that mean, your car's repaired now?

And Fiction, your avatar looks very colorful. What is pictured in it?

Oh, I see . Fair enough, I'm obviously not enough into flowers to know it in the first place.

But btw, in what way is M.Berger not privileged??

What the hell are you babbling about? No one said anything about flowers.

That's a picture of a fish in FW's avatar. A recent pet of his or something. (He wouldn't shut up about it yesterday.) I give it two months tops before it goes to the big toilet drain in the sky.

I didn't say M.Berger is not privileged. I was responding to FW, who I don't think is privy to my good news.
