Hi, Marya & Fernando and anyone else out there that is reading this blog. Well, last night was the first round of “GIRL MEAT”. I had a great time. I think. It’s so weird to be on stage as this character. I love ‘playing’ with and off the audience and making people laugh. The Countess doesn’t really care about any of those things. So, I’m reconciling me doing that as the performer, but not compromising the character. My main goal last night was just to remember all my lines! Anything else was icing on the cake. It’s interesting how about 50 percent of the people I talk to feel so strongly about me using modern-day colloquialisms. They feel that it really detracts from the piece and takes the power away from what it could be. Others really like it. It is my style to have a certain kind of irreverence. It is a gift I got from my beautiful and hilarious mother. But, there is something tempting about not doing it and seeing what comes. I could always try it in rehearsal for the April show. Feels like such a BIG endeavor to write another half hour of material for then!!! Hmm, almost tempted to blog through till the April show. I don’t know. I don’t want to be a blog hog. But, there is something strangely soothing about this blogging daily as I do the work. Hmm. Well, if I didn’t see you at the show last night, I hope to see you there Saturday!
well here are my thoughts about irreverance. Of course there’s a place for it. Not wild about the 7th ave line though I think it’s a throw away. (I can explain more in person but I think it will prevent something stronger from emerging) But the face cream works well and a few others. Music works well. You have sooooo much here, take a step back.. go ahead blog as often as you want. i’ll keep answering.
