Dear Anton Pavlovich
We had a great class meeting/rehearsal today. As you know, I was "stuck." So I tried an exercise that I read Peter Brook uses. We took the monologues the actors have been working on, and distilled them through a number of processes down to single phonemes and gestures. What they wanted became crystallized and pure, and when they performed them all together, that section of the room became a veritable PIT of longing. It threatened to pull the whole room into it.
That's what I have to do. I have to distill the play- how the characters relate to time in its purest, most immediate form. Script distillation over the weekend. Thank you for giving me such a rich text to work on. I think you might like where I think I'm headed!
