We had our first run thru yesterday. Rocky as can be. But that's to be expected isn't it. Usually is the first run thru before tech. Sa said "But Taous how can we do a run thru? We've never done a run thru?!"
Well dear, there's a first time for everything isn't there.
And three times I shouted "if you don't have something to say that you are supposed to say in the play than don't open your mouth!" And it shows the one's that have been showing up working (A, S) and one's that show up but don't work. And they blame me and other's when things don't work. I can tell. No personal responsibility. Isn't that what I am supposed to be teaching them? I guess in two months you maybe start to chip away at these things...
Like the trash on the street. Everyone thinks someone else will clean it up. Or the trash left in the theatre by the mysterious men at night. We find cigarette butts, empty plastic coffee cups laying around. Because someone else will clean it up.

Sadly, it's not only the menfolk using the theatre space in Bejaia who leave trash for others to pick up Taous. Lack of care for others and their environments seems a human failing evident in many cultures around the world. While you have encountered a lack of care in the space in which you're working, I, for one, am inspired by the fact that you care. Good luck with the tech run and the performances!
