This morning we had a specific list of moments and instances to work on from the run last night. It was SO helpful to have a really well defined goal list for rehearsal. It may sound obvious, but it resulted in way less tension between the two of us and way more productivity...except...for the dreaded blanket dance. Last week we improv'd the whole show with fresh material. In the improv we did an EPIC on-the-spot dance that we literally cannot seem to recreate again! We watched the video of ourselves quite a few times and decided that it would be best to choreograph a small chunk for the run and work the rest tomorrow morning. Frustrating. but we will nail the blanket dance eventually!
The rest of the day was super quiet and relaxed. Maybe it was the grey skies? I took a LONG nap. I don't know what it is. Maybe this cabin has a sleep spell on it, but I feel like all I do is rehearse and sleep!
The run tonight was really good. I think I was still in my stumbly/nap/rainy day mode, but luckily CJ was super focused, which really kept me centered. The only thing is that the show is really slow right now. All the material is there and set, but it is taking way too long...as our professor once said, "We need to drive that train!" Aka pick it up! (and seriously work tech and transitions)
On another note, the dogs (Ben & Jerry) have FINALLY picked up on the fact that we are rehearsing. They no longer enter the stage in the middle of a monologue to lick our toes. We're really going to miss having dogs around :(
So yea, we're feeling really on target. There is positive pressure in the air! Feels like tech week!
