Day 2

“We’re training for the Olympics and we have three and half weeks to do it.”
– Brad Fraser

Another great day. We spent the day sitting around the table, reading and analyzing the script scene by scene. The nitty gritty. Getting as specific as possible about the rhythm of each scene, the reasons characters are making the choices they are, what they want, and whether or not they get it. The answer to each of these questions being a choice each actor needs to make.
Each choice acting as a gateway into another conversation: the prevalence of lying in our lives, the effect of past relationships on our present, chance encounters with ex’s, the process of aging…

To paraphrase Brad, the text is the tip of the iceberg. We’re in the process of building the giant structure that will rest beneath the surface of each performance.
