Oh god I'd forgotten what an ABSOLUTE BANGER of a song this was. Stone cold.

i think I broke my back

moving set

so much for getting into tech

I do love being stage crew it’s so fun but…

my nails are destroyed along with all of my joints

and my sanity

it flew out of the window

genuinely plotting to hang myself from the fly floor if the transitions don’t get better

also we have to make monkey bars out of three ladders and no one safety checked it idk how I feel

and my wing only had two stage crew present in our first rehearsal bc two ppl quit and the others were ill/busy

AGHHHH

Drawings from a workshop I did with students. 39 steps. Start somewhere - draw for a minute what you see - take a step - draw for a minute... - repeat for 39 steps.

Good way of spotting details.
