This was a fun one because due to Covid, we had to take what was originally supposed to be a pas de deux (two people dancing together) and dance separately while still communicating the same story. Fun.

This was hard. Let me explain…
1. Our brilliant set design (Ryan Howell) was only one level, so no chair apparatus for actors to fall through and disappear into the set. So that means I had to figure out a way to get actors off stage after they die.
2. It was a black box which means the audience is VERY close to the action. I could not just go to a black out every time someone died and have them sneak off stage. As an audience member you would have heard it and even seen it.
3. SO we had to get creative and go ahead and tell the audience that you will see d*ad bodies walking themselves off stage. But when that's communicated with a clear movement language from the top of the show, your audience will buy into that language and accept it. So that's what we did.

Let me elaborate:
1. You don't have to have everyone moving all the time in a musical, especially if you are staging in a black box. (This does slightly depend on how close your audience is....) Use stillness to make moments where you do have movement more impactful.
2. Your show will never fail if your actors feel like rockstars up there. Even in a drama....rehearse it and stage it in a way where they feel empowered and powerful. And if you can, find "Beyoncé moments". (Or a moment where the staging for a lead character or featured captures the full attention of the audience.)
3. If a moment of staging doesn't fully feel magical - trust that with lighting, costumes, and sound it will fill in the gaps. It's a live art form that needs ALL those elements to come together to make it work.
