Tonight we spent two hours choreographing a fight scene, which I was dreading. I've never done any kind of stage combat at all , and was so afraid of 1)not being able to convey convincing enough rage against another person, and 2)accidentally hurting someone or getting hurt myself..
But, surprisingly, it was fun. And I *could* summon the appropriate appearance of rage, and I *didn't* hurt anyone(I slapped another woman at least ten times tonight, definitely a first for me), but I did get a bit hurt myself. Nothing serious, just swollen wrists and bruised knees, which I think is faring pretty well considering the intensity of the combat scene, and the fact that the person I'm fighting is a man who far exceeds me in size and strength!
The best part about tonight was that the cast finally seemed to relax and loosen up with each other (nothing like rolling on the floor clawing at each others faces to break the ice!)
;-)
Also, Mary's home safe from Turkey - we haven't talked yet, but I'm sure her blog will have a good summary of her time there soon...
