"You Just Have To Try Every Day. Sometimes Something Comes, Sometimes Nothing Comes."

Thomas taught Clown today and Philippe took his Garage day as Thomas is performing at a festival later in the week.

We began with the 'Yes/No Clapping game.' Different props are laid out on the stage. Somebody goes outside the room so they can't see/hear. And the audience decides on something the person outside the room has to do with the props. For example, lie facedown on a yoga mat and hold a coat hanger between your teeth. Then the person outside the room comes inside and has to try and discover what they have to do with the props. They know they are getting closer by the claps of the audience - the closer they are, the harder the clapping.

It's abou audience connection and the pleasure of playing. But it was pretty boring to watch. Thomas even admitted "my exercise was a flop!"

We then did a casting audition: "Whatever I ask you - pretend you can do it."

"When I ask you to do something you can also find ways not to do it – to cheat."

There were some funny moments, but it was a slow day today.

"Maybe we find something, maybe not. It's not every day that we find."

"You just have to try every day. Sometimes something comes, sometimes nothing comes."
