Howdy y'all,
Another week, another blog post, and let me say this one is exciting! We've begun the process of blocking and playing around with movement. This week I could really feel the pieces clicking together as the actors began to more concretely grasp the vision of what the product would be, and also have fun with the words on the page. The actors, particularly Tilly, the spirit of a dead dog, played by Jessica, really dug into the fun physicalties of being such a unique character. The two actors are having a lot of good chemistry, and after a long year of not being able to feed off of other people's energy in a rehearsal room, it felt really good. The whole team working together to make this production during a time of uncertainity, and a long time of not being able to be in a room together has made me very proud of the work we've done together. This week, my actors and writer/ASM were flexible with me to show up masked and socially distant for an outdoor rehearsal on one of our nights off from the space. They gave it their all, made new choices and kept having fun with it even with the many groups of graduation photo parties passing through. I look at the calendar and realize how quickly our show is moving but with such a hard-working and enthuiastic group of other directors, writers, designers, production team, and actors, I have faith it'll all come together by the end. Knock on wood.
Write to you all soon,
Haille Lantz
