Only 10 days or so until we begin rehearsals for Rockbound, and something wonderful is beginning to happen in the fields behind the Centre complex. A 30-foot long boat-formerly a launch from the HMCS Bonaventure, is being converted into the set for our upcoming production as well as a writer's studio for the Centre.
The notion to convert the boat into a writer's studio came from Chris O'Neill, the Ross Creek Centre's founding executive director- but the idea to utilize this historic craft for a set for Rockbound came from company members who were working on the piece in a workshop situation in December of 2008. It's amazing what happens when artists begin to talk about crazy ideas at three in the morning- but this idea was too good to pass up.
Bonaventure!!! The aircraft carrier. This just keeps getting cooler and cooler.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how it's transformed for the production (and to one day try it out as a place to hide and scribble!)
ReplyDeleteNifty stuff! "Wind in your sails..."
