Whilst I've been uploading new web pages for the show onto H+B's site, the Little Leap Forward rehearsals have begun! Mark Whitaker (tour manager and performer), Jonny Quick (technical manager and performer), Frances Merriman, and Nicky Fearn are now in the building going through the first few scenes with Alison and Loz. The mood here is upbeat and there's a renewed sense of energy at the Boo. In fact as I sit here in the animation room writing this, I can hear the sound of running and stomping below me in the theatre space, which is theunmistakeble sound of the cast warming up. As the show opens at The Royal Exchange on 28 May that makes it almost five weeks before opening night.
Last week we had Steff Lee (LLF animator) at the Boo, who made a wonderful three minute film on the Making of Little Leap Forward which features one of the tracks from the music score composed by Loz Kaye, production shots, a sneak peek of the set and some of the puppets and masks that will be used for the show, plus stunning illustrations by Helen Cann from the book, Little Leap Forward - A Boy in Beijing co written by Guo Yue and Clare Farrow.
