We're in Adelaide!
The Festival is trotting up to the starters' box, the city looks vibrant and there's that feeling that we're part of something big. The comment was made during the drive that there were not enough road signs counting down the kilometres to Radelaide, and no sooner were the words out of my mouth, but sure enough 'RAdelaide' - the countdown had begun.
Driving through town last night, the Garden looks spectacular - a veritable place of wonder. At the other end of North Terrace, can be found the Coopers Urban Garden Experiment at the Nexus Multicultural Arts Complex. We had a wander through (and with a good value mojito on offer, who can say no?) and got acquainted with the space...
As a performer I feel blessed - we've been restricting our rehearsal to the tiniest of all spaces, strictly setting a triangular stage of 2m x 2m - Pythagorus could tell me the other edge, but I'm not giving in to the calculator! Movement has been kept under a watchful eye. To our delight we found the stage is not a strict 2m x 2m right-angle triangle. It is quite generous. The walls have been muralled. And there's a delightful feel of whimsy walking through the Urban Garden into the Gallery. When I walked in, I breathed a sigh of relief and the instant reaction was 'we got it good'. Needless to say, it is beautiful, and a whole bunch of my nervous ticks were put to ease by finally seeing it.
We woke up to the gentle sound of falling rain, and this has put some of our plans to wander on hold... which leaves us to more practical matters... hardware store.
