How to Successfully Rehearse ALONE
Wednesday, 5 January, 2022
It's just so much work; I don't know what to do, I'm an actor not a director. I don't know how to do it; What if I do something wrong; I just find a lot of excuses why I can't do it now; I know I'll just do something studpid. These are just a few of the excuses I hear continually as a teacher and director in the theatre. In our schools we require that a student take the techniques learned during the day and create, rehearse and perform a small devised dramatic project EVERY DAY that they are in school. Therefore, I am very aware of the excuses proferred every night when performance time rolls around. This podcast addresses this subject and give give the student or performer a structure for rehearsing without the benefit of a director, teacher or learned colleague. Hopefully, the excuses will be replaced with the inspiration that this can be very satisfying and rewarding. Sometimes, just changing the frame can bring a whole new reality into view. Happy rehearsing my thespian friends.
