Today’s rehearsal, started with the movement of the puppet's legs in action, just the legs, whilst Molly and Will puppeteer. They followed a line along the floor of numbers and words starting from 1 through to 6, as the numbers got higher the puppets walk had to decline, from a steady walk through to a shuffle, as a stick and another stick was added to help aid the movement.

After that we moved onto the diagnoses section, and worked on the ensemble moving around the puppet with flying paper, this is to add to the confusion and to re-create the thoughts flying through the puppets mind, as he is told of his condition.

After lunch we were back to scrutinising the idea of the puppets imagination, what stimulates it? What launches the puppet into a new world that he has never experienced? The stimulant for the scratch performance we are moving towards is his glasses...

As the puppet struggles to pick up his glasses after dropping them, they become alive and the puppet is suddenly thrown into his imagination.

As we approached the end, we documented our progress with video footage, so that we can remember the detailed movement for next week. The following week, will be working on finishing the puppet, the fish and props.

    "In my view, mental and physical aspects of MND go hand in glove - if one has the right frame of mind, one can almost achieve the impossible"

    " I first saw the task as one of preserving my personality, of showing the world that my mind has not gone down the tubes with my voice. If I cannot say as much as I used to say, I have to say it better. So the choice of words becomes crucial. "

    "I have had  motor neurone disease for practically all my adult life. Yet  it has not  prevented me from having a very attractive family, and being  successful in my  work. This is thanks to the help I have received from Jane, my children, and a  large number of other people and organisations. I have been  lucky, that my  condition has progressed more slowly than is often the case. But it shows that  one need not lose hope."
