Sunday night, I will host a dozen brave ladies at my home. I've asked them to prepare a piece of erotica to share. I'll lead them in a theater game or two (with an adult kind of twist). If all goes well, I'll discover a few new ensemble members. Such an exciting prospect.
There are actresses I know coming to the audition, ones that I've worked with - that feels scary somehow. When I didn't know anyone, I could kind of reinvent myself as "A director." But with people coming who know me as an actress, I fear them seeing right through my disguise. And yet, after a year of working on this show, I do have a stronger/thicker(?) sense of myself as facilitator (director, not so much. Work in progress).
I have missed working on this piece of theatre. I feel like it reaches into my most creative spaces and ignites little fires. I am eager to face creative challenges once again (I despare about logistic ones, but that just comes with the territory of creating theater it seems).
If you are reading this post before Sunday the 3rd and know someone who just HAS to audition, they would be so PERFECT for this show, send them to the website dancenakedproductions.com, and they can get in touch with me.
I'll keep you posted what happens Sunday night (and then... callbacks!)
Well, This Is Awkward
