And here, once again, begins it.
Its that time of year again, Kabuki week. Here begins a week of staying at uni past midnight every night, going over lines, getting costumes right, swordfighting, going over more lines, running through entire acts, forgetting lines, ordering eight pizzas at a time to the faculty building, and going over lines.
Time too to put the rest of the world to one side for a week, every waking moment we will live and breathe Kabuki, for attendance at other classes to drop off, for homework to be done while sitting in the aisles of the theatre, and to sleep an entire night in either the faculty building or the theatre. (The faculty would be more comfortable.)

The performances of "Shinjyuu Ten no Amijima" are next Friday and Saturday night at the ANU Arts Centre. If you're in the area, come along and watch!
