Peter Pan
These are random thoughts that I have had today about directing Peter Pan.
Jane Jones keeps reminding me to remember the events of the story. "What are the events, Joy?" And I nod my head, go back to my room and open my script- Directing a play is about slowly hacking away at all the different elements and then continuing to discover. To keep asking yourself, "Is that the most interesting idea? Is that honest to my story? "
J. M Barrie's fantasitical play turned children's story is so different than previous renditions of Peter Pan, that I have been able to experiment with the style of this show. And the experiments are proving to be some of the more interesting aspects of this show.
Risk and lack of ego are essential to a good director.
Directing Peter Pan is turning out to be my first taste of desiring graduate school in the future. Every day of rehearsal feels like new terrain. The only ground I trust is my taste.
My taste of wanting this show to appeal to both the 75 year old man, and a 7 year old boy. And i am starting to feel moments of this working on the audience.
