dancin'
Tonight we danced. We danced the waltz, the tango, and swing. Or I should say, we learned some steps and I wrote them down in my notebook. That's kind of the same as dancing, isn't it?
I'm really excited to see where we go from here. We're finding ways to express a complex relationship within the confines of a small mattress, and ways to fill the space of a large empty room. We're putting together a dance that will be violent, romantic and forgiving. We're learning to listen to these characters. I'm particularly excited that we continue to add new perspectives:
Sam Miller is doing a fabulous job as stage manager and props wrangler.
Talashia Keim Yoder is being super generous in teaching us some basic dance steps.
Emily Swora has some super cool thoughts for costumes, from what I've heard.
I can't wait to see what Ben Jacobs comes up with for our set design.
Or what Erin Bontrager comes up for Kyle's cheek, or what Jessica Brubaker does for our lights.
Now if we could just find a way to balance out the hitting and kissing a bit more fairly, I'd be thrilled...
