...it was fantastic - incredibly powerful stuff and they all get such a lot of satisfaction or whatever you call it when you do something well... women are really the mainstay of the country I feel and this group really shows the power women possess. Not possessive power but inward I feel anyway I thought how much more real this small group was than anything you see on the stage in a theatre or on telly. Just a small hall and we were on the same level not far from them ...the group seem to get better and better. 

First performance last night was heaps of fun. We hurled ourselves into it (speaking for myself) and our audience was brilliant.

First feedback by email:

"My goodness gracious me!!!  What energy, what style, what fabulous costumes, what great music, and what MEMORIES!  Congratulations on a masterly performance. [...] Enjoy the rest of the season! "

Big day on Sunday, we were in the theatre from 10am till 6pm doing our technical rehearsal. Ben, my 8 year old son came in to help Katrina. He is completely fascinated with the whole process of setting up and designing the lighting and spent the day in rapt concentration. 

Only a few of the Crows are in the new dance Leaving Home. Here's a glimpse - rehearsing in petticoats and boots, but no camisoles or skirts or capes yet because they are still being fitted.
