Performance

 A few years ago I performed a few times with a commedia dell'arte troupe.  This troupe, i Sebastiani, will be performing (virtually) at an online event we are having in September.  I checked in with them during their Zoom rehearsal tonight and was able to sub in for one of the actors who was absent.  There isn't an actual script, just an outline/scenario to follow.  Each actor comes up with what to say that will lead them from one part of the story to the next.  It took me a bit to get into the performance and remember what I should be doing.  I got to be a spurned lover.  I'm looking forward to watching them perform in a few weeks.  

Seeing them brought back some great memories of rehearsing and performing.  I made some classic mistakes tonight, mainly asking questions.  Asking a question is one of the things one shouldn't do in improv.  Since this from the middle ages we also shouldn't say things like okay or talk about cars.  Being part of this tonight and laughing at this peformance in the making is my happy for today.  

This gnarliness is on a tree that borders the garden.
Some of the bittersweet was removed today.
I'm not sure if it is too late for the trees or not.
