First day back to rehearsal after a sick day and “equity day off.” I was feeling a bit ashamed for calling off on sunday, but I truly was SICK and I don’t need to be a hero. It is just that I NEVER call off for ANYTHING.
Anyway today in rehearsal everything really came together. We are one week from preview and there was a concern about one scene getting the musicality of it. After trying several different means to one end, it just came alive. At one point Kathleen was welling up and I, who sat quite still and cross legged for most of the day, shot up and was breathless. I was so moved and finally we were allowed to use the word violent.
Like I mentioned in another entry Kathleen is kind of a “hands off” director. What I mean by that is she doesn’t feed the actors instead lets them feed her and the show. “It’s the difference when working with professionals,” she said today…
