Diary Entry - Day 2, Company of Elders & Hugh Myddelton Primary School, Mary O'Mahony, Tuesday 22nd March2011

The morning was spent trying to remember and polish our own moves before Hannah and Phil introduced the linking sequences so that we could see the whole section beginning to take shape.  Again the unison sequence presented us with some problems but we kept working on it.

When we joined up with the children in the afternoon we were all very excited to find Hofesh Shechter in the rehearsal room.  Somewhat nervously we showed him what we had learnt so far and were delighted when he expressed entire satisfaction with what Hannah and Phil had created for us.  He did indeed have an idea for linking the children and elders' parts together as Hannah and Phil had predicted.

To our delight Hofesh then created a small section of choreography for us and the children.  What a privilege.
