Our dramatic duo

Friday & Saturday were performance days at YPT; the year's was No One Is Alone. 

The junior ensemble had been working together for 5 months - exercises, brainstorming, character / plot / narrative development sessions, rehearsals, costume development, sound & light direction etc. They had put so much in the Middle Place. 

It was wonderful. So physical and intense. The school director remarked that she had rarely seen a group - professional or otherwise - be such an ensemble, a team, present for each other at all times on stage. Impressive!

 We went out to dinner afterwards with two of Seb's school friends who had kindly agreed to come along. They had also kindly waited for him every Saturday in January & February as he trekked back across town from YPT for games night.
