As we accelerate towards opening night, I continue

As we accelerate towards opening night, I continue to struggle to show the nuance of the troubled male character. In 75 minutes can we get across the complexity of him? He needs to cross the line, but not too much . . . because on some level he needs to remain forgivable. If we he were unforgivable then that obvious statement "why does she stay" just gains traction.
*
At the same time, minimizing his actions to make him forgivable lessens the intensity of the message of the show, and how much we withstand from the stance of love. They say that art mirrors life. It’s ironic that as a director of this piece I am grappling with the same question that this show is shining a light onto. Where is the line? How far is too far?

Spotlight on Rain Anya
Founder and co-artistic director of Paper Doll Militia
*
*
With her 3 decades of experience on stage in theatre, dance, music, and circus, Rain’s life’s work is in the integration of circus arts with other artistic disciplines. She has been creating, performing, and coaching with Paper Doll Militia since its inception in 2006.

Rain’s devised work often sprouts from the seed of a strong scenographic vision. She brings that vision to life through the integration of movement and circus arts. Rain continues to push the boundaries of aerial arts through her work with invented apparatus and innovative design.

Rain’s passion for aerial coaching brings her all over the world teaching specialty workshops, teacher trainings, and retreats (Greece, Mexico & Panama). When she’s not on the road, Rain offers private lessons out of her home studio East Los Angeles. She lives there with her husband Paul and two Greek kitties, Tickle and Homer.
