Can I Just Say
I love what I do?
I love the teaching, whether acting or comm. I love the "Aha!" moments. So many of those happened in rehearsal this evening. I think some of the actors are really beginning to get ahold of this new way of looking at the text, and I think it's helping.
It was a very relaxed atmosphere tonight, and they accomplished so much. I don't think there's anything better than watching an actor suddenly get smacked between the eyes by a realization and then seeing them jump up and down because they're just so excited at what it all means.
I'm so very, very glad I got some sleep last night (9 hours, as opposed to the 4-5 of the previous 3 nights), because I felt much more in charge and useful than I did at yesterday's rehearsal, when there were a couple of, "Oh. Shit. They've stopped talking. That' means they're done. Now I have to say something. To come up with something more to make this clearer" moments. I was not very good at those last night. But tonight... Ah. Tonight was a vastly different story. So many discoveries. So much really, really good stuff.
I'm so glad I get to be a part of this process.
