First rehearsal yesterday for our 12th Night* performance went very well, especially for a first walk-through. It was good to see people I hadn't interacted with in two years. As always, I try to encourage everybody to move more onstage. Even when you're reading from a script, don't just stand there in a static fashion! It's boring. Play to the back row!
That said, some good bones in our first attempts to figure out how we're playing the characters. And the two of us in my one scene rehearsed yesterday came up with some good byplay that we were both happy about. (Especially since we hadn't acted together before.)
* We're filming it as a standard performance with a live studio audience around the traditional time. No one wanted to do another Hollywood Squares Zoom production.
