It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn…. and I’m feeling good. Why? So hard to say. Maybe as much a puzzle as to why I was feeling numb last week. But here are some possibilities:
I acknowledged the sadness – mine and all the stories this project holds.
I acknowledged the overwhelm and tried to simplify a little bit more.
I got to work – out of my head and into the work. I edited the script, I listened to the music, I talked to my husband about the set.
I met with two of the actresses, Evie Abat and Tarina Pouncy, and we began to dig in, explore, play. Oh, the joy of co-creating, discovering, the sweet ‘aha’ when something lands.
I let go of what I had not done and focused on what I was doing.
And maybe with all of that, it is the weather is changing, fall is in the air. With that comes a renewed energy. It is harvest time.
Some of those, all of those? – all good, part of the cycle, part of the rhythm. Tonight is another rehearsal with the other two actresses. On Sunday, our choreographer Mark Martinez may join us to get a feel for what wildness we are up to.
To the new dawn.
