Sitting backstage at Measure For Measure rehearsal during Blackbird’s run

– Sit, close eyes and allow the sounds around you to envelope you, listen for all of the sound in your environment.

2- Lines, yelling on stage, heard both from the door as well as the intercom in the dressing rooms
3- Low conversations in the dressing room, Jesse doing his warmups nearby.
4- Air Conditioning unit above me, girl next to me turning pages as she reads
5- It’s all backstage voices.  slight nervousness for the dress rehearsal, but certainly not the nervousness of a performance.  The noise from the stage ranges with the emotion of the scene.
6- Backstage
7- Hushed whispers, yelling from stage, pages turning next to me.
