Doing
Rehearsal tonight felt easy. For the last couple I've been feeling smaller and smaller. But tonight I was pacing around the hall as everyone came in, building up momentum. It seemed to work, the scenes had energy and speed.
This is a trick I'm teaching myself - when I get nervous I find myself caving inwards, folding down. But I can't act like that. So instead, when I feel it come on, I start to move around and try to do everything bigger and louder, and jump up and down. It must be really irritating for the rest of the cast.
