I am looking forward to next Tuesday's lecture on actor direction very much as it will be invaluable information for me, as director, to learn how best to go about this.
Tomorrow, our auditions are being held. This is both exciting and nerve-wracking, as I don't really know what to expect or what even I want my talents to do for me in the audition.
I am thinking that first I will chat with each of them, deciding on a smaller group of talents to cull down to, and then ask these actors to perform a short scene from the script - it's just complicated as there is no dialogue and, for Jane, little movement. As for Ben, without props, there is little I can ask him to do. Perhaps a kiss? Hmm - is that even acceptable in an audition? I may just ask each girl to do a number of 'responses' and ask Ben to take his top off...umm. Gosh, awkward much?
EEp.
