Rehearsals

After we finish rehearsing a scene and go on to another one, it is probable that we wont get to watch and rehearse that scene until the general rehearsal. However, I had the chance to work once again with the three demons which are the only actors in the opening scene, because it has been quite some time since the last rehearsal i have been able to come onboard with a fresh take on the scene.

This gets me thinking about the process of rehearsing a scene, after rehearsing for so long, eventually you might keep rehearsing but not notice several errors or possible mistakes that could be easily improved. We can always explore a scene in different ways and take a new approach to the acting, where could they move and what changes could be made to the ways the actions are performed. After not rehearsing a scene for a while and you realize it is the same for almost every creative process. Whether you are writing a book or drawing a portrait once you leave it for a while and let it rest, when you come back you will have grown as an artist, or even as a person. In a much more simple level, you will simply be able to notice those mistakes that were previously present but, due to your constant focus on the project, were not able to correct before.

However, while I reflect upon this entry, I also ask myself, how does this help us improve? Would this count more as an observation rather than an understanding of a process ?
