Apr. 12th, 2007 10:49 amThere's something kind of cinematic about making your way down the street towards the subway station in the pouring rain, fighting against the wind, avoiding the puddles...and not really noticing much or minding because your ears are filled with Mozart's Litany in B-flat Major. It's like your very own soundtrack..
Last night we had our first rehearsal for Admit Impediments. We made very efficient use of the time, getting through, working and cleaning all pages 1-20, and I blocked the two numbers as well. I always try to block as much as I can theoretically, but nothing beats actually having actors in front of you to execute it, so you can see if it works with their rhythms and acting choices.
I feel restored by last night. I really love directing--I feel so completely engaged, every artistic molecule is provoked, and I also get to exercise my perfectionist tendencies. It also helps--immensely--having good actors who understand what I'm asking and can execute it.
