Everyone has chosen such delightful names for their icons. I've been trying to come up with something all week, and I'm drawing a non-clever blank, so I'm going to close my eyes right now, and when I open them, the first name I see on any surface of my apartment I'll use.....(
We have a winner! My shadow's name issssssss..... BUELLER. I like it.
So I've been noticing some things about Bueller, the way Bueller talks and Bueller's facial expressions. I haven't paid enough attention to Bueller's walk yet, and I'm still listening for a story....
I enjoyed the table work during class, the interview was cool and great to get into the minds of the Greeks. I think the Greek groveling exercise was a little distracted by wardrobe malfunctions...but I like when the group comes together in an improvisation, worshipping together, mirroring each others movements, discovering the rules together.
On a side note, R&G rehearsals have been going fantastically. We've been working through the two-person R&G scenes, and the guys are getting the physicality and the rhythms in their bodies more and more each night. I'm feeling really good about my instincts - some of my direction has had a great impact and their choices are getting bolder and sharper. And I'm having so much fun! These first rehearsals are making me more confident about taking on the big group scenes. I can't wait for next week.
Ooh ooh ooh, keep up the R&G reflections, I will pretend that I don't read them and thus I will get a candid view of what you think of our work. I'm so sneaky. ...But really, that's encouraging. I'm really self-conscious onstage, so director's plus means my plus. You're the one watching us and giving an outside perspective, so it's pretty much yours I have to go by. Mmm, lovely, lovely.
