New clothes

Last week I went to visit Hammi and Maikku of Lustwear to get outfits for the upcoming works. Today we rehearsed wearing them with the three women and they were all really great. The clothes I mean. I’m actually amazed how well they suited the performers and they all looked great in their dresses alone and together. Hooray! I haven’t done a run through of the solo piece wearing the new dresses as yet, but I’ll try to do that on Wednesday or Thursday the latest. I have a couple of possibilities to try out if the long dress turns out to be too difficult. I hope I can wear it as it is totally amazing and so so beautiful. I’ll see.
I have been struggling with the ending of the Festive work for some days now. I thought I had it all figured out last week, but suddenly it just started to get worse and worse and worse. Now I feel a bit like I don’t know what to do as I don’t want to let go of it. But I saw some light in it today again…it wasn’t the best thing I’ve seen but there was something there again. I know I need to give more time to it, trust it. It is there, somewhere, I know.
I should get the brochure from the print tomorrow. Exciting!

Hope you are all well.
