a loss the right word reveals good work toward a goal

From Rachel:

Thursday night we worked Scene 11, pulling out three members of the band into the performing area to serve as a peasant family.   The three musicians are also actors but until this point in the process had not been a part of any of the "acting" rehearsals.  Over the course of the night, I made a fascinating discovery --- the acting ensemble is developing a shared vocabulary with the way we are trying to approach the work.  The discovery was made back-asswards:  it struck me when I was needing to "revert" to more establish actory language to explain what I was looking for in the scene and from characters Jen, Nick, and Alex, were playing.  

Exciting discovery!  And our fab 3 tackled the scene like champs.
