This week the cast and crew began with some bonding exercises. It's important we all get to know each other as rehearsals progress, so we ran around trying to tell as many people as possible one fact from our day. We discovered that one man had spent his morning playing with a sword, one lady had eaten birthday cake that was not her own and someone else had claimed a free pasty, among other both interesting and prosaic excerpts of daily life.
After the introductions, the chosen Spring Season play was read through. Just hearing the characters being read aloud together showed how accurate the casting is, even before the stage and movement directions are implemented. IN HIS IMAGE has been written by dedicated Heat&Lighter Rosa Connor, so this term is exciting for its support of Heat&Light talent. It's also the penultimate one for Director and Company Producer Kelly Wilkinson, so we're striving to make it one of the best terms yet.
If everbody has completed their character and movement tasks before Week 2, then the next rehearsal should be even better - and the characters even more well-defined.
See you next week!
Stephanie & Emily
