Howdy,
For the first run through off - book, the work was really good. And the line notes are minimal. The audience helped to elevate some moments. It also pointed out what needs to be shaped or cared for a little more for the audience. Dialect and speed of talking by Bo - has to be cared for. Next is making sure in a very steep house of the Anspacher they are lifting their heads as well as thier voices.
Martin, Marieke, and Betsy were at the run. Martin has very little cleaning up for the set - we really like the rehearsal room feeling. Betsy's challenge is to make help us find a couple of more organic rehearsal sounds for wind - and rain. We added one more today. The wind is next. The reason we aren't using recorded wind again is because for the workshop we don't have the best quality speakers - so wind doesn't necessarily read as anything but maybe static. And we're just using what we need for story telling.
Eagle Eye Becky is out of town for a couple of days. Look forward to seeing her on Sunday.
Lyssa got the final touches for the program - including special thanks. Thanks to all reading the blog.
Tomorrow is a day off for actors, final set work is being done. No building, just fixing the bed, cleaning up some rope - cleanign up the floor plan. Stuff like that.
Regarding development process it is now focused on getting presentation tight, and the emotional depth honest and full - in order to learn if the play is a complete journey and supports what is asked for by the actors. So far it does - beautifully.
btw - learned the play is selling very well. If you are planning on attending - please order tickets in advance. We'd hate for you to miss the play.
Goodnight,
Padraic
