2 minutes 12 seconds

Strange but true. Summer is here! We still have three more weeks of intense work and tons of things to do before some kind of vacation.
A couple of blogs ago I wrote about our changing clothes - problem in the Edinburgh version of Pink Noise. Last week we then finally gave it a try. Picture this:
Thursday at 1 p.m. Forks rehearsal room, four singers all dressed in the white Pink Noise clothes. The singers imagine they are on the stage in Edinburgh, finishing a song and waiting for the applause. There comes the applause, then a bow and then black. 12 seconds of black. The singers storm out from the stage and rips off pieces of clothes. After 12 seconds they are again standing in front of the audience, behind a see-through curtain, in silhouette, wearing only underwear, singing. At this point they really hope they can trust the light guy... Then, after 15 seconds, the silhouettes disappears and the singers once again storm out. During the next two minutes, while the singers keep on singing the song, magic happens. And if everything goes as planned (there really are no options) out comes four singers dressed in... well, let that be a secret.
This is what we did last week at work. Smart? No. Fun? Yes.
I don´t have any pictures from this session since I was quite busy slipping out of one dress into another.
I give you this picture instead. Lahnajärvi, Finland. Summer at its best.
