Tuesday, Sept. 21:
Aimee gets the spirit! Our staging work tonight surrounded Aimee's story. The scene of Minnie and Aimee in the church with Semple, getting to the heart of the Minnie/Aimee relationship. Then, the staging of The Heat, using the inspiration of the circular healing conversations that Rob, Liv and I have had during our work together. After The Heat, Minnie's return and Aimee's convincing mother to stay. Tess and Lee's commitment to the complicated relationship was compelling. I am excited to see where it grows from here.
We began the "How Do You Do It" sequence. The female, "cool cat", reporters gave a beautiful juxtoposition and foil to the uncomfortable boyish nature of Amelia. We will continue the press spinning chaos of Amelia's media frenzy tomorrow. I am enjoying playing with how many different ways and crew members can be in the crowd, keeping the press machine alive.
In the middle of staging p44-62 we held a Music Rehearsal for about an hour and 20 minutes to give the ladies reinforcement on some of the group numbers. The placement in the middle of rehearsal seems to be effective to give the women a chance to exercise their brains in a different way for a while.
Yun joined us to show fitting pictures of Amelia! How exciting. Of course Kaliegh looks just like Amelia. Wow. Patrick joined to see the joining of story and environment.
Great night of work - quite excited that we have stayed on track with the staging schedule. What an accomplishment.
