Back to Routine

DAY FOUR

After an exhausting yet incredibly fun intensive, we were excited to return to routine today. For the cast and crew today was the first day back to classes since rehearsal began. We will all admit that a lot of worthwhile procrastination went on this weekend but now it is time to get back to school. While rehearsal was much sorter today it was clear everyone was glad to be back in the theatre working on our production. 


The actors had to take a huge step tonight: picking a mask. While no decision is final, it's time for the actors to start heading in a specific direction in terms of selecting a character. This decision process had no real time constraint, actors could explore their favorite mask or masks for as much time as needed to settle on one.  

The criteria explored for mask selection was as follows:

  • Practicality
    • Fit and comfort of the mask on the actor
  • Head
    • What mask do you think would be a strong choice?
  • Heart
    • What mask do you love?
  • Gut
    • What mask do you feel is right for you?
  • Challenge
    • What character choice would be a challenge for you to explore but one that you can accomplish in less than six weeks?





Sometimes its good to just fall on the floor and laugh for no reason.
