So many actors feel the need to deliver a performance in rehearsal. And yet, rehearsal is not a performance, nor should we expect what we do in rehearsal to be “the final performance”, but a work in progress, a building of the elements that will eventually lead to performance. Rehearsal is an opportunity to try new things, dig deeper, make sure that we have a specific relationship with everything we talk about. That means giving ourselves permission to *be* in rehearsal. It means *slowing down* to make sure every moment is clear and filled. As an outstanding example of this, we hear veteran actor Ben Daniels in rehearsal for The Normal Heart at the National Theatre.
