Things are really starting to pick up now, I'm nervous (no Sh*t Sherlock) but I know I can do this. It is merely a case of being super energised onstage and having a really clear plan of what the journey through the performance is and how I want the audience to come with me and experience it.

Not really any time to write, to busy doing, but reflection time is coming soon...

The pressure of having to make final decisions and stick to them is always a good form of pressure for me...I can respond to 'This is it, step up to the challange' and work well on a presentational level. On reflection, this is because I can allow myself to indulge in the single (if complex) task of performing.

I think one of the key points of note in this process is the complexity of the relationship between devisor, writer, director and performer. I have acknowledged this before, but at this emergent point prior to performance it is incredibely clear. During the process I was constantly confused about my role and unable to have any outside eye time. The roles of devisor, performer and director were entangled, I was making decisions without a clear picture of what I was trying to achieve (in some respects this meant for an organic process but it also meant I was relying heavily on the outside eye opinions of others which undermined my confidence in my own opinion)
