This is a picture from our night rehearsal. We've worked some old moments with new lighting. We've settled on a couple exercises that we like to run every morning. There is one in which we make a scene using elements drawn from a hat. This allows us to improvise with characters and concepts that are involved in our show. We have also been finding success working with repeated conversations or games between characters. And of course, we are involved heavily with moment work. We are finding threads in our collection of moments and we are beginning to see sections that the show might have.
We've brought on Tina's younger sister as an intern on the project! She's visiting from long island and has already made a huge difference in the process. She is the first set of eyes other than our own that has seen this material. She has been daring enough to point out a few things about improvisations that Tina and I would not have noticed on our own. She has also helped us document our process, as you can see from the photo above. We are thrilled to have her on the team.
Tomorrow we plan to work a night heavy schedule because we are finding the night time to be the most inspiring for generating material. The night allows us to work with lighting which helps us get our creative juices flowing. We're feeling like we are in a good place, which is encouraging considering our day off one saturday turned into a two day weekend. Back on that grind!
