Saturday Status

More memorizing. Trips to the gallery. Emails to artists. The sharing of inspiration. Continuing creative conversations. Fine tuning the script.

The piece really sings now... a final script session with Diana sorted out any remaining areas of concern. On Thursday, the spine of the play snapped completely into place; it felt like a chiropractic adjustment. Now properly aligned, the piece has a resonance that is very profound; it simply sings. The years of development work feel like they have totally paid off. There is something to be said for the taking of time to develop a play like this. Everything is falling into place.

The more time I spend with the play, the more I realize I simply need to get out of the way, and let Icarus, Lucifer, and Phoenix do their thing. That's going to be the challenge, I think... abandonment. But if I can do it, if I manage to step outside of myself enough that they manage to get their hands on the steering wheel, it's really going to be something to behold. Very exciting.
