I am reflecting now on two main events. The first being the recording of our piece before winter break. This process brought so much to light. We realized much of the work we thought was done needs a lot more work. For example we have realized we need to keep an actor offstage to do the complicated light changes. We are all entering at the same time now, as well as the general timeline being very different are two changes. We also are adding many more boxes to the stage in a hope to make the set feel more organic and lived in. These all felt like setback. I can tell you that much. The second event was a day we spent scripting the play (over break). This was felt to be necessary after we realized how awkward our dialogue was. This plays into the realization that we needed better character development as well.
As the director this has been a difficult time. I want everyone to feel as though we are moving forward, but the shock of these realizations kinda paralyzed our team. I feel as thought it will all work out in the end, It just is hard now.
