Yesterday was our Mindfulness & Intimacy day. “The kids” (as Rajiv Joseph refers to his characters) learned several mindfulness techniques including: Mindful movement Warm fuzzy Watching your breath Mindful journaling Naming thoughts as they arise How to set your body up for success Setting a SMART goal The five pillars of Intimacy Directors International And then they created their very own pre- and post-rehearsal mindfulness routines. This daily ritual, if you will, creates a muscle memory effect that trains your body to know that the emotions it experiences during scene work are separate from real-life trauma. Finally, we began choreographing each physical contact/intimate moment in the show. It was a big day and these amazing young artists did beautifully!! Very, very proud of them and the rehearsal environment we are creating together. 💜 Have you gotten your tickets yet? March is right around the corner.
