It's funny, I find myself missing the cast already. I miss working with them. We start our script-based rehearsals tomorrow; although it'll still be a mix of exercises and script work. The biggest thing is learning everyone's style--who responds to what the best. My goal is to be a great "coach" director; to mine and refine the innate talent that the cast already has. I have learned sooo much about casting this time; and with the cast that I have, I can see why it is so important now.
I had a good meeting with Marta, the Costume Designer today. We went over the wardrobe for most of the characters. I love envisioning how they will all look on stage in their colors and shifts. Thandiwe and I also went over the basic design for the set and will meet with the set construction person on Thursday. I do believe I lost my Lighting designer, and am still looking for a sound technician.
But, other than that, it's going well. The meeting with Lara, the graphic designer went well, she'll have some rough drafts for the poster soon. Alisha(Audrey) is meeting with Dana (the pianist doing some tracks for us) tonight to get the song in the right key for her. And I, I am thirsty. I really need to make sure I have a water bottle with me. I did tell the cast to make sure they take care of themselves...
