Community building

Rehearsals are picking up in intensity now -- much, much better to crunch now than in the final week. Last night in rehearsal a productive game -- none of the ones I tried for warm-ups :(, but the naturally emergent "Machine" to demonstrate the ostinato section. Ideally, that is how they should be incorporated into the process.

Everyone needs two hours set construction. Bring a friend.

Ostinato section needs to be rhythmically coordinated, with exact patterns be each group/person.

Do you know everyone in the cast by name? Ask other actors how their day is going? Smile at them in the halls? Over the next month, you need a new group of best friends -- ones you can wholly trust on stage to support you and who will trust you to support them. As my focus begins moving toward production necessities, I'll have less time for this community building. Seniors especially, can you help out and pass on the sense of Theatre JM and what we're about?

Anyone want to coordinate a pizza and movie party for the cast during break? I'll provide the movie rental :)
