I have been acting for a lot of years, like 11 and I've been in a lot of shows..like 20 and this is the first time I have had to faint and someone catch me. It is terrifying! If I just had to faint and fall on my own I would be fine with it, but the fact that my whole body is in someone else's hands is so stressful.
I literally have been stressing about it for a couple months. The guy who catches me is trained and a really good friend of mine and I 100% trust him to catch me, but for some reason I just could not let myself just trust him. In fact, on Sunday I had a melt down and started to cry, I just couldn't contain myself.
Last night we were practicing in the lobby on the carpet and we nailed it a few times, then it was time for the actual scene on the actual (hard) stage. I could feel my heart beating the whole scene, and right before I was supposed to fall I had serious butterflies. Then it was time to faint, and I just did it.
We NAILED it!
The show opens on Saturday and last night we had a really great rehearsal...let's do this!
