The Room Before the Curtain Rises

Before an audience arrives, the room has a different rhythm. A line is repeated. A mark is adjusted. Someone checks a prop, while another person watches the timing of a transition.

These moments rarely appear in the final photographs, yet they shape what the audience will feel. The work becomes whole through dozens of small acts of attention.

Making space for discovery

Rehearsal is not only repetition. It is a place to notice what the material needs, to test an instinct and to let an unexpected detail improve the original plan.
