Mind that lampshade!

The rehearsals for 'Dreams' are going frantically at this moment. The dancers came in last Thursday and one of the girls bumped her head on a lampshade when she was being thrown about - I did wonder if we could have got extra funding from You've Been Framed!

Carl has got the music cued up well, but needs a karaoke version of the Corrs' arrangement of Dreams for Carol to sing to.

Rehearsals for 'Dreams' event

So, this is our first Litfest event since moving from Headingley Community Centre to the HEART building. We are still waiting for a new cupboard upstairs in the Pulse room!

The rehearsals are a little bit subdued as we got the news that Geoff, a long-standing member of the team, had died, and texts and e-mails have been flying back and forth. The idea of dedicating this performance to him has been turned down by Joan, our chairperson as she feels it may bring audiences down who didn't know him. And so we are using that idea for a May mixed poetry evening.

The dancers for the music cues are due to be in sometime next week, but the laptop with the music on is currently playing up.
