I had a breakthrough at Nightmare rehearsal yesterday. Now that we've got the fight choreography down, Jana has had us focus on the acting - showing our fear, pain, and the decisions we're making as we fight for our lives. Yesterday, I got it.
My character puts up a good fight, but she dies and she dies badly. Getting stabbed in the heart and then eaten alive, that shit is going to hurt. This is what the phrase "scream bloody murder" is all about. I found my scream, and the rest all clicked into place. It felt good. Really, really good.
It's loud, it's dramatic, in that space it echoes. And it is glorious.
