First individual rehearsals began this week for the shows. The Stuffed Animal cast met on Tuesday for our first rehearsal on zoom since that was how the shows were scheduled to be for this week.
It was quite interesting though as we seemed to have more issues than normal with zoom this week - this just furthered my annoyance with the application and highlighted how ready i am to never have to use it again or at least as much as we currently do. There were a handful of setbacks from the rehearsal that it almost felt unproductive other than the progress we were able to make in discussion of the story, characters and overall message we are trying to share. The cast is really willing and ready to get to work which is great, especially since next week, I want to hit the ground running when we are able to meet in person to rehearse. It has been interesting to try to figure out all the different aspects we need to address when it comes to directing a one act let alone directing one during covid times.
Next week, we start with rehearsing on the Main stage where we will eventually film these shows. I am really excited to work out the blocking and figure out how to embody the possessed stuffed animal and the overall characters and themes of this play.
