Hey, I had fun tonight!

Yes - I had fun tonight! We did scenework, and that's what I most enjoy.

We did start out with improvisations, but then we got to what I consider the meat of rehearsals - actually working with the text.

The improvs can help inform our characterizations, yes, but I, personally, work better when I can chew on the text and try different ways to bring the character physically to life through the text.

Tonight, instead of the director stopping us with line readings, he coached from the sidelines as we went through the scene. He entered the stage area and gave us direction within the scene, and I was glad he "massaged" the scene that way.

Tomorrow is a three-hour improvisation. I'll probably be too tired to write about it when I get home, but I'll do a recap of the most recent rehearsals on Sunday, when I have a day off. I'm looking forward to that.
