So, today was interesting. I casually ask my actors what their super objectives were...and they didn't know. Needless to say, I was pissed. Frustrated and pissed. I was wondering what wasn't working because there seemed to be a pretty sizable disconnect from what they thought was happening and what was actually happening in rehearsal. I wasn;t an acting major for too long but I certainly know it doesn't take more than 20 minutes to do action sheets for a ten-minute play. But, I digress:
I'm cutting my losses at this point and just literally telling them everything I want them to do. Every movement, choice, character work and anything else I can think of; completely going for broke. I'm literally puppeteering. It's not going as well as I wanted it to but if the show happens, it happens and that is my goal. Hoping it will be as good as possibly it can be.
