This week was marked by company run-thrus and one other rehearsal. The run-thrus went pretty well, and we only had a few little things to change following up on them. We added the curtains after the elimination of my “nature circle” idea, so we then had to get used to using them in the show. I think I’ve fixed all the blocking issues with them, but I’ll have to wait for tech to know for sure.
Olivia sent me most of the sound cues this week, too, and there are only a few adjustments we need to make for them before they’re done. Most of them sound perfect, there are just a couple more we have to get ready and then we’ll be good to go!
I know that my show is the most technical out of all the shows in the festival by far, and I need to make sure I’m prepared and focused for tech rehearsal this weekend. There’s a lot of things I need to ensure are just right, and that will require some work on my part both before and after tech. I have faith that it will go well, but I am certainly a bit anxious about the sound and light cues, mostly because I know they are complex and have to be just right.
I do need to let go of a certain degree of control with the tech aspects. Everyone is working super hard and I absolutely love how efficient they’ve been in this process. I am the director and it is my show, but it’s not only my show. It’s a collaborative process, and I know everyone is going to work as hard as they can to help my vision become realized. If things aren’t exactly how I pictured they’d be, that’s perfectly alright.
Everything will turn out exactly the way it’s meant to.
