I’m feeling a sense of accomplishment, excitement and nervousness, all intertwined.
It’s just after 11pm and I know I should be asleep already, but it’s always hard for me to sleep the night before a big event. Tomorrow is the first day of the next round of rehearsals on Crossing into Presence. Since our last residency in October we have been working on the script, and it is finally finished. Well “finished” in the sense that we have a beginning, middle and end and it is the length we were striving for, but of course I’m sure there will be tweaks and edits, because really, when isn’t there.
But anyway the point is tomorrow we meet with the our director, Kibibi Dillon and Yako 440 on sound design. For the last couple of months this script has been this intense conversation in my brain and with my father, and now I find myself in the act of printing out copies. Which makes it suddenly real to me. Feeling the weight of the paper, as I imagine the magic of the first read-through tomorrow.
Maybe I’ll stop and buy some highlights for the occasion.
