I guess going into this, the feelings of, "Oh, we didnt have enough time!" and "People are gonna be there for the first time", mixed with the excitement of seeing our classmates performing Chekhov as well, all starts kicking in. My advice to everyone, and mostly myself, is just to breathe, relax,....and trust in the work we've done up to this point.
My biggest goals for tomorrow are to take all this work and advice I've been given, and now just let it go in a sense and make it relate to me in a deeper way. Now it is not about a performance, but remembering to just be real and truthfully tell this story, and I think the hard word will all fall into place.
I want to truly talk to each person on stage, and find a real connection with them when I speak. and although they wont have experienced the entire show in just 45 minutes, I would love for the people watching to leave believing as many moments as they can-and being able to easily empathize with the tribulations and desires of each character, as they are all made so clear the minute they enter the stage. I definitely want to keep the NEED up but with her lightness and youth, because I think I lost some of it during the last run...
Now is the time to put the doubts away and as Joe would say, "Run toward the FEAR!" Cause yeah, Chekhov is kinda scary...but it is also so rich, so human, and such an exhilarating place to work from.
I want to have fun with it!!!
BREAK LEGS TOMORROW!
