Happy Valentines Day! I had rehearsal last night for the scene in which I am acting. The play deals with war and family and incest. The plan for last night was to choreograph the incest-in-action which is being done in an expressionistic way (interior feelings manifest outwardly). The director envisages a movement based couple minutes with a powerful soundtrack that includes music layered with an academic paper on the effects of incest and thunder. Against this soundscape, the movements are not meant to be the reality of sexual contact between the sister and the brother but an articulation of what that contact means.
Anyway, we were all excited about getting to that in the rehearsal process because we've laid a foundation on which we could build this interesting and potentially powerful moment in the performance. While we are getting ready to start, Lee, the guy playing my brother, says, 'I'm totally pumped for this incest dance!"
And all I could think was, "Yeah. Me, too!"
