Hi everyone,
We've been getting very into our knitting up at DT3, and are well on with knitting the set for our production of 'It Snows', on at The Dukes next year.
There are 20 actors, 1 young technician, 20 knitters, a director, an assistant, a composer, a production manager, a creative associate, a wool sponsor, and umpteen volunteer pom pom makers! We're a huge crowd with a whole lotta wool; and it's such a nice feeling being part of such a collaborative act. We're learning lots from each other, sharing experiences and knitting our way towards what will be a really innovative story.
It's becoming such a journey already and hopefully the audience will feel the same when they see the show in Feb.
We meet on Mondays and vary our time together. We've danced, played winter sports games, run, skipped, hopped and even watched White Christmas (attempting a bit of ballroom....!).
We've shared snow stories, created toboggans, played with wheelie bins and learnt to skate on the most un-slippy floor imaginable!
We're working our little woollen socks off to tell this story to you in February.
Back to the knitting board...
Louie Ingham, Director 'It Snows'
