Nico's back, and She approaches with speed...

It is yom Shlishi...Tuesday and the 3rd day of the working week. In England I hate Tuesdays but here I like them a lot. Nico came back from nearly a month in Romania which was very, very welcome and he brought us all toblerones. Today was a really happy one. I translated a detailed scene-by-scene synopsis of Les Mouches (the Karov version) from French to English. I'd forgotten really how much I love translating and clarifying and re-clarifying things with words. Yofi! We have done a 10shekel (like, 1pound 20) for people from the Oranim program to come and see the play tomorrow with my English version in hand to see how much it helps.

I submitted a proposal to A at Oranim for Proyect Kanafiyim (The Wings Project) to get young Diaspora to the Karov and engaged with South Tel Aviv and the Tachana through a focused production and workshop in English. She called me and said she liked my proposal a lot which made me so glad and we will meet again next week to discuss it further.

Grigory has invited Nico and 7 actors to take part in the Lik Festival with a site-specific adaptation of Spirit Of The Forest which is so exciting. Nico's not sure about being able to adapt it for the smaller cast and for the forest there in Mikhailove but I do so hope he does.

Dorit and I still need to finalise the space for Undressing Cabaret but her little one has been poorly so we shall do it tomorrow. The e-flyer (and actual normal flyer) is beautiful and I am so proud to distribute it with my name on it in Ivrit. There is a woman called Ayelet Ron in the theatre now rehearsing with a massive dress from which 4 women emerge and do things with sticks by the sound of things.
