Theatrical rehearsals for a movie? - holidayz continues

Theatrical rehearsals for a movie? - holidayz continues

 .. we all had a resonating mind set... the Holidayz team met the lead artists this Sunday (nov 02 2008). The Director (hAri) had a plan and the Associate (Rupesh) acted as a catalyst for his thought... it was noon when i completed working on the "mannerisms" .. yeah that’s right .. it was different to write about something which is not going to be reeled in the movie!

  i worked on writing the history, geography and other essential preludes for building the characters. i was made to give an insight into those characters for artists playing the respective roles. But, before even going to the artists the Director's department got aligned to get the same image of every character. And then it was a break for the lunch! Stuffing some fried rice into my dried stomach, i was all set with the team when artists flooded into our office. Introducing ourselves at the macro level we kick started the show. It was 1:1 in the beginning ... the artists were patient enough to observe my act and then mimic me in the beginning till they got into the comfort zone, then the director's board fine tuned for expressions.. This worked in tandem. it was almost 8pm when we winded up after having a team performance scene rehearsed. With some sweat on the forehead and a satisfied smile i walked out. Thanks to hAri again for giving me a chance to perform the roles which i had nurtured when i was writing the dialogues.

   While riding back home.. It was the glimpse of theatre rehearsals we used to have which came on to my eye lashes!
