Rehearsal #5 - Conducting Business

The cast is split in two by the time I walk in to this rehearsal, and the reason is simple: Nick Stokes' piece slices two moments in time and separates them so they're happening simultaneously...at least that's what I gather from talking to Ashley Bagwell and Andrew McMasters. There's also something about one actor/character being the same as another actor/character, and there's golf involved. Or something.

In the other half of the rehearsal room, Kaleb Hagan-Kerr and Sylvie Davidson rehearse an awkward meeting where what they say and what they're thinking about what they're saying run up into each other. "Do you think he got that I was out walking?" Davidson asks before turning her focus back to him.

It's a jumpy battle between the conscious and the sub-conscious writ large. Should be interesting.
