That was the most fun I've had with the cast so far. So much better than a party is Chapultepec. And it was the perfect foil to the second-most-draining-rehearsal yet. Only the runthrough on Friday has been harder, and I didn't even have to do anything hard tonight, since the only scene we worked was Children, Children. Well, except for the continual emotional abuse. I had to practice keeping a straight face during the animal orgy, while being able to burst into tears at the beginning of the scene, and then rehearse being agressively kissed by somebody with a very sharp face. Yes, people, I lost a purity point tonight. I think more than one. And I can join the ranks of cast members with honorable rehearsal bruises. But I will never call banana! I'm just glad it's Dan, whom I apparently trust enough not to go into my Pavlovian reaction of nausea, insomnia and all-night full-body tremors. There didn't seem to be a big risk of my freaking out (for one thing, teh gay, for another thing, studio-brother), so I did what I could. I don't want to be the one to make the show lame. And apparently our scene wasn't lame. So yay for us. And yay for getting Theory homework done off Dan's score in time to go out with people from the show afterwards.
Chapultepec has a style much more suited to my manner of (or lack of) interaction than drunk parties. I love listening to the cast banter, even if most of their conversations center on topics with which I am completely unfamiliar. It's like listening to a foreign language I don't comprehend enough to speak, but hearing the beautiful rhythm and being able to transcribe it phonetically. Sometimes in life (in class it's a real disadvantage) I stop listening to what the words mean and start listening to how they sound, just because it's interesting, and I miss whole concepts because I was trying to register every single phonemic unit. Particularly with people who have accents or vocal habits, or people whose voices I like. I could listen to Sean or Diego or Burfy for days at a time, and not understand what they were telling me.
Anyway, tonight was amazing, and it looks like I won't have a shock reaction from the rehearsal. Awesome.
