"I'm the director. So I can tell her not to do that..." -Lara on memorization (talking about how it's Jaqui's job to stop us every time we flub a line)
We've started our off book LDP ("Letter Damn Perfect") rehearsals and I can't wait to put the characterization work and the memorization work together - getting to that point, I mean, where you're saying the words because you're thinking them. That's been Lara's priority in the director's chair - to talk things through section by section, articulate each character's associations and motivations... Lara is so great at this. She's always asking questions, but she's always containing the thing too - in control in a good way, leading us to this point where the text seems to fall naturally into this groove we've cut in our brains.
Our brains... By the time this thing goes live, we'll be sharing one!
