The other night my husband ran lines with me and I didn’t suck. Tonight I felt like the dances came together in my feeble non-dancer brain. I have taken ownership of the two songs I’ve been so worried about. I think it was the fear of putting the bloody book down and trusting that the homework I had done would still work like it used to when I had a younger brain. It did.
The other thing that helped was finding Vera’s costumes. They help the whole character come together and she feels more comfortable. I’m more confident. The other thing that happened tonight at rehearsal was that I really had fun. I hadn’t at the past few (no offense to the fabulous cast and crew!) because of my personal fear, gripping my brain and body like a vise. Now the fear has passed. I feel good.
Well, as we all know, they man in the moon is a lady. And I need to go to the moon land where I can sleep in the bed of green cheese, in my Saturn chemise, dreaming of the stars and the planets. I’ll give the big dipper a kiss for you too!
