Mainly fear...
I figured it out. I have memorized, not well either, only 20% of the lines for our play. I have had 2 and half weeks to do it. There are 3 weeks left to opening night.
You do the math.
I'm so screwed!!!!
That leaves about 100 pages of lines to pound into my head.
Anyone making bets yet? How many points do I get?
Yella tells me that the director is amazing in how he lets the characters develop slowly over 6 weeks of rehearsal. He doesn't expect them to be there right away, perfect.
His process is so simple. Yet, in the past, it has worked so well.
He puts in a little more input on how to do things each rehearsal. Not too much, just enough to continuously shape our performances.
I see the development in the other actors. One lady in particular is starting to act in a powerful, funny,compelling way. I am impressed!
So the process can work.
But will it work for me?
It is hard for me to see how this is all going to come together.
Today, I have worked for over 2 hours and it is not 10:30 yet. I will put in another 2 hours before rehearsal and another 2 hours in rehearsal, then another 2 hours after dinner.
Am I completely consumed or what?
This better be worth it.
Are you tired of hearing about it? Tough! I'm sure more is to come.
