Yesterday was the first joint rehearsal, what an amazing experience. My goal was to bring the actors in to meet and build with one another. If you're ever done any type of acting (on whatever scale) you understand the importance of knowing building a relationship with the people you're working with from the other actors, to the director to the sound engineer. We all need to feel comfortable with one another and create a space of respect and creativity. Unfortunately only 2 people could show but trust, it was still lovely!
We had lunch together and then rehearsed. The best part of the day for me was once we put the scripts down and they shared their feelings about each piece, what it made them think about, how it made them feel. That's EXACTLY what I wanted, to create dialogue. I truly believe that any artistic piece should leave its viewer feeling like they just experienced something, create some type of emotion within them whether that's anger or happiness. If I haven't done that, then I'm not expressing myself correctly.
This rehearsal has really pushed me into my grind and now I'm working on blueprints for the coming months as well as the logistics of the showing of the completed play.
Stay tuned.....
