Cabaret In Rehearsal: How we create a show from scratch!

First of all, I love my colleagues! They are immensely creative, fun to be with, musical, and not the least all around sympathetic people to be around.
We work well together, even when we don't agree:
A critical factor in the success of any project, when working together so closely in a group.

Chemistry between colleagues is important...no, it's crucial!

We had a meeting out in the garden


To create a show from scratch, we use rehearsals to develop our ideas. Finding rehearsal time together means stealing time every now and then.

Just now we've carved out three days in a row for playing, trying out ideas, and strategizing for the future (see picture above). And it is all taking place in 
Asnæs.
We are fortunate to have a room donated by the local school of music.
Thank you 
Odsherreds Musikskole!
At night, we convene at my home, taking turns making dinner, and even sometimes sharing a nice bottle of white wine.

The best part of our meet-up, and perhaps the funniest aspect, is the development of our musical and dramatic ideas. On our last meeting, one of the ideas that emerged was to sing a particular unknown and rather difficult Mozart coloratura aria...while in the shower.

We all like to sing in the shower, don't we?

So why not sing an aria in a bikini while being washed by a male butler?


Rehearsing in this costume is fun!

Crazy? Sure! Burlesque? Very! Spectacular? You bet!

"What is the champagne bottle for?," you may ask.
That my friends must remain a secret...for now ;)

We plan to try out a few sketches for a live audience in Copenhagen in November.
Email me if you'd like to be invited for the sneak-peak. ninasveistrup@gmail.com
