Hi y'all!
This week we began rehearsing on our own with the beginning Zoom rehearsals. Zoom is a difficult world as we all are conditioned at this point to sink into our seats when hopping on Zoom meeting. That makes it our job as a directors to fuel an environment that breaks that mold. We want to find a way to create a meeting that helps feed our process and continue to be productive as to not waste the valuable resource of time. I think that our rehearsal was as successful as it could be in pandemic glasses. It was nice to have the ability to dive deeply into the concept together, pick through the script, and discuss character work that had been down outside of rehearsal. The actors were super receptive to having conversations and adding any expertise they have from their own personal lives and script work. One of the brightest moments of the evening was one of the positive elements of this production being able to collaborate and ask the writer directly the questions that come up during the table work. This was truly such a wonderful addition to this type of show and one that I think really adds to the enjoyment of the One Act Festival.
This week also began some elements of real collaboration with the rest of the team with production meetings starting up. The directors and writers have started making group creative decisions about what the project would look like as a whole to help make a cohesive vision of all our different stories. This helps fuel excitement as we continue to move into the project. I can't wait to move into the space and start diving into blocking with the actors and continue to see the creative vision with the rest of the team!
Blog to you all soon!
