Jumping Jesper’s AMAZING work day at Lovewell Sweden

28 Jul Jumping Jesper’s AMAZING work day at Lovewell Sweden

Of course, all days here at Lovewell Sweden are amazing but this was AMAZING.
After some great dance and vocal warm ups our awesome choreographer Jesse, who joined us this weekend, had us all sing our opening number standing in a circle holding hands, eyes closed. It was a really powerful and moving experience.
I think it was just the thing I needed. It made me connect emotionally to the story we’re telling in a way I honestly hadn’t done previously. After this I was super excited to continue to write our show! And write we did =)
We worked intensely on our family scene the whole day. It’s a long musical number written in Swedish combining a ”Cabarét-style” comedy song about retirement homes with a rocking family drama one. Aiming towards ”the best rock chorus ever” as Nippe stated before we started out, we couldn’t possibly fail. It turned out fantastic!
Although it’s been a long day, my work day ended around nine when I and Helene finished the English translation of said scene, it has swept by really fast. I don’t want it to end.
Life here in Oskarshamn is great. We’re having the best of times, while working and at nights! We’ve had a fantastic ”Battle of the Bands”, played some action-packed games of no rule soccer, been confused by the weird washing machines, been to Hemköp about a thousand times and started creating a show that will be fantastic!
That’s all from Jesper, formerly known as the Turtle, now as Brita’s husband and some sort of doctor person, who will be created in the following days when we dive into the writing of the second act =)
