Big rehearse big fish

 Big day, although I didn’t know it was when it started, Working out at the main university gym was terrifying. Hit a quick leg day, But all the machines are always occupied, Everyone in the gym is massive or really agood looking. 

Besides, that came back home and did nothing for a little bit  

Then moved on to six hour rehearsal for shooting on Friday. Rehearsals for filming isn’t very usual, But as an actor, it helps a lot. It helps take away the anxiousness from getting on set and help performers feel more ready with what they’re about to do. Obviously, in theater there’s much more rehearsal, but rehearsing for film and television is just as important if not essential. There is a factor of time and that not everyone can gather around for rehearsals and such a big scale sometimes but for a short film like this, Amazingly helpful. 

Today we also rehearsed some contact in the scene, My character has a boyfriend and while they’re swimming, there’s contact, no kissing or anything like that, but there is caressing because we are a couple. So it was interesting to me the exercise we did to like, Settle into this mind space, And as we started, touching each other‘s hands, arms, shoulders. I was having a hard time making these gestures naturally, So what I found most effective was to memorize their body, Or the area I was touching at least,  his arms. And that’s what love most often feels like, it feels like someone who knows every part of you inside and out, Even the freckles on your hands. Just a beautiful revelation I thought I’d share.

I hope some of this is useful to you. Thank you for Reading, Good night
