So, today I woke up feeling rather nasty. My throat was sore and my limbs were heavy, and everything I did seemed to produce more tiredness and blah. I called in sick to work, dragged myself around the house and finally out the door to do some errands... but suffice it to say I was not anticipating rehearsal with any large measure of delight.
And today we were doing a scene in which I play a nymph (always a bit tiring since we have decided the nymphs are in semi-constant motion)and have a big long speech I have had trouble memorizing. And there was supposed to be a fight in it. I was sure I was going to be clumsy in every possible way.
But instead, we started with an exercise in which we drew the energy of the earth up through our feet. There is really no way to describe it that doesn't sound bizarre, but it's a surprisingly effective thing to do. I got energy! I felt very free, and grounded, and it helped me do the whole rest of the rehearsal without losing steam.
Anyway, I should go to bed so I can not miss work tomorrow... so that's all for now!
:) Becky
