Continuing to direct Dead Man’s Party. We’re heading into tech week, and there’s still some blocking to be done. Yeah. A little stressful. Its worse for the actors, though. I’m sure it will all come together, though. I could be a bit of a wreck by the time we open, but I’m sure it will all come together.
I’m shooting a bit of video as we go, and when the show’s up, I’ll probably edit it together and throw it up here.
In the meantime, here’s a rehearsal shot.
As I’ve mentioned previously, I’m directing Dead Man’s Party for Monkeyman Productions. This is the first time I’ve ever directed anything, and although I’ve had some ideas in my head about what it is to be a director, and what makes a good director (what actor doesn’t?), I’ve never actually had to put any of my ideas into practice.
And so, now that I’m directing this play, each time I get ready to walk into a rehearsal, I get slightly terrrified because, this being my first attempt at directing…I’m not entirely sure what I’m doing. I’m hoping that the things I say to the actors is helpful and that I’m not getting in their way. I suppose I’ll be happy if when its all over, it can be said that I’m not a “bad director”. And if people enjoy the show despite my efforts (or even better…because of them), then I’ll be even happier.
I do plan to start shooting some video as things get more interesting and we start putting things on their feet, which I will eventually edit together and post here.
On another topic, yesterday I went for a walk at lunch. Mount Pleasant Cemetary is closeby, so I ended up walking there for a bit, when I came upon this:
Yeah. That’s a Fu Lion wearing sunglasses.
