I was thinking about how the steady tick of a pocket watch can be like a metronome for the day. Have you ever noticed that kind of rhythm in your rehearsals?
Yes, I have one on my desk. I set every cue to its tick, keep the entire rehearsal on that steady rhythm. It’s the only thing that makes the day feel ordered.
I think the steady tick is a good anchor, but remember the rhythm can also be a cage if you let it lock you in too tight. Keep an eye on the whole picture, not just the metronome.
I hear you, but I keep the watch at hand to check every cue. It’s the frame, not the cage. I’m always watching the whole scene, not just the tick.
It’s good to have a frame, but remember a frame can become a cage if you let it. Keep the watch handy, but let the scene breathe around it.
