Butterflies Diaries #2 - Spread Your Wings

By Abigail Dawson    With less than a week until the first performance of ‘Butterflies’ it’s a good time to reflect on the past couple of weeks and how the show has developed.   The whole team came together for the first few days and discussed the idea of anxiety – what our own anxieties are, what can cause anxiety and how to deal with them. It soon became clear that most of us are in fact very anxious people, and we tend to hide it. However, over the course of the two weeks of rehearsals I realised that it is okay to have anxieties, and just like our three characters in the show with the support of each other around us we can combat them together.   Below is a picture of Tunji, one of our actors, showing everyone that we’re nearly ready to spread our wings at Half Moon Theatre and welcome you to ‘Butterflies’!
