12 student directors directed me and another actor for 12 hours straight with 1 script but 12 different variations. This was a fun and challenging exercise. I highly recommend doing one of these if you ever the chance.

Details about the day for those interested. We had no context of what each director would be giving us but we did get the lines in advance. Each student had only an hour to work with the actors. It was non-stop jumping in and out of character. Each character...
