More time in the rehearsal room, refining with the movement and fight directors
More time listening and thinking in response to movements of bodies in space
More singing together, finding problems and planning how to support their solutions
More anticipating solutions, being ready to change them in the moment as the challenges reveal themselves
More making room for the words, more getting out of the way
More taking time to translate the conversations, the observations, the inspirations into actionable sound design and music (the cue sheet below)
One thing someone told me that I always come back to: “you have to remember that everyone in the room wants to make it work.”
