A friend has asked me to direct his new play, and I just spent a jolly hour creating a proposed rehearsal schedule. I can visualize how it will go (it will not go exactly that way, but still...). I think there will be 22 rehearsals, and my next job is to subdivide the script into sub-scenes so I can rehearse a small part of the cast in a focused way without making the rest of the cast stand around doing nothing.
I can feel the weight of actors' needs, script rewrites, set building, lighting plot, all more comfortably and confidently than I can feel the balance of forces for anything in any of my "real" jobs this decade.
Good skills, but not for this era, I guess.
