Theater Blog Camino

What did you think about the Camino Real Rehearsal? The Camino Real rehearsal was really interesting to watch, especially since the show is in its initial stages of development. As a technician, I usually don’t start attending rehearsals until the show is all put together. I tend to see the runs of the show and even though it is still subject to change, there is less stopping to change or look at blocking as there are in these stages of rehearsal. During the rehearsal, I felt like Maize was really letting the actors take part in the blocking. He said in class that he lets the actors sort of improv their blocking to some extent based on what they think their characters would do. In the rehearsal I saw a lot of debate and conversation between the director and actors which was really refreshing.
