The Inexplicable Redemption of Agent G: First Bite

art by Jeremy Arambulo whose stuff is consistently amazing

So this is the poster for Vampire Cowboys' next show (lovingly amended to "Agent G")  the First Bite workshop of which will be next week at the Battle Ranch at 8pm Monday and Tuesday.  The website has all the details.

It's been a long time in table/reading development and we're hard at work trying to give it a stage life now.  We'll probably be presenting only the first act, but already there's film noir, sci-fi, Miss Saigon, James Bond, Pirandello, Katy Perry and horribly funny plays within the play.  Oh, and some amazing fights that take place basically in a box.  No shortage of edgy, fun theatre candy here.

The action sequences are really good so far and I thought I would preview the process a little by offering my notes on what is historically known as "The Beer Fight."  

SECTION ONE

1. Ninja Running w/ looks and katas

2. Two sword dodges (Amy)

3. Nunchuck dodge into left crescent (Jon)

4. Right roundhouse (Amy)

5. Paper block/hand block/paper strike (Bonnie)

6. Nunchuck dodge/paper parry/nunchuck dodge/paper tap (Jon)

SECTION TWO

2. Simultaneous knife disarm and paper strike (Bonnie)

3. Sword block, twisty move, spin paper strike (Amy)

2. Hand grab into double hand neck chop (Bonnie)

3. Backward dodge (Jon and Amy)

SECTION FOUR

1. Running sequence right then left

2. Pop up into right cross (Bonnie)

8. Over the shoulder reset

9. Nunchuck strike right (reset under), strike left (reset under), strike left with nunchuck pop out

10. Flourish!

By this time I will be a complete mess, but the show must go on.  We'll all be addicted to five-hour energy shots by the end of this week.  That's three weapons, unarmed combat and a shitload of running.

Feel free to print this out and bring it with you if you would like to follow along ;)
