It's being really great to be part of this great learning process that is the StoneCrabs Young Directors programme (or should I call it The Makers of Theatre programme?).
It's proven to support my development immensely. All the sessions have been really practical and I could get many things from each of them. From the Boal Techniques with Teresa, Text analysis with Franko and Kwong and physical theatre with Jorge, I feel that I am starting to use most of these techniques and am having ideas on how to adapt to my own benefit.
I feel quite a long way away from being able to use physical theatre but I feel that there are simple ways of using it now. In the last session I saw a great result in making something abstract into something physical, such as a tennis ball that represents power and helps actors understand the power struggle within the scene. I, like Luce, also took notes of all the good ideas the others had when directing.
It's been really great to meet all of the other directors, actress and technician too. We get on really well and have been thinking of making The Makers of Theatre a fairly regular event in the future, discuss...
Now my big challenge is to cut a lot of the play that I'm directing and use all of these tools we've learned so far to make the best job I can. Never mind the cold weather, Obama's won and I feel empowered!
