Wandering with The Rainmaker
Manage episode 435204554 series 2829309
In this episode, Milton begins talking through The Rainmaker by N. Richard Nash. It’s an example of how we can begin working on a play by ourselves. There is no right way. We can take our initial impressions (whatever hits us first) and wander around with them in a non-performative way. We do this, in large part, to discover what world we’re in, and that becomes our entree into all the specific elements that exist in that world. “But I resist making a decision for as long as possible,” Milton says, referring to the barn in the play. “The reason is: I want every decision I make to feed into my understanding of what the scene is about. And at this point, I don’t know enough yet, about the play or my character, to create the barn. But once I know more, I’m going to build it in a way that helps me an as actor, that gives my character something to play against.”
