Sweet Spot

August 27th, 2009

One of the most wonderful gifts I got from the recent “Chrysalis” run was dancing with the cast and crew (ours and others from other shows) backstage to songs from show soundtracks before our show went up.

Everyone was just shaking it out and getting into the zone.

All that energy, all that focus… It was amazing to tune into that, even if only for a short time, even if I was trying to shake my own nerves.

When we were all swaying to “My Girl”, we’d hit a sweet spot. We’d done everything we could do up until that point… the actors were dressed for their entrances, and had already run their lines. We had set up all of our props backstage, ready and waiting for the show before ours to tear down their set, so we could set ours up.

I feel like I’m doing that with my writing right now… I’m shaking things off and getting ready to focus.

I’m trying to find my sweet spot, and listening for my cue.
