Begin
with the
work.

Separate the engagement essentials from the rest of the household move.

Prepare for a costume fitting with the requested items, relevant movement questions and clear observations, while respecting the costume team’s process.

Record acting availability with clear confirmed and provisional commitments, private notes and a consistent way to communicate changes to the right people.

Plan a scene-reading session with a clear purpose, agreed feedback and respectful boundaries, so both actors know what the time is intended to support.

Test a self-tape setup against the casting brief with clear sound, usable framing and a manageable room, then check the actual file before submission.

Carry the materials that answer the brief and keep the journey manageable.

Organize role research around questions in the play, distinguishing documented context, the script’s evidence and the imaginative choices you bring to rehearsal.

Separate discoveries, decisions and questions so the pages remain usable.

Build an understanding of the whole play before fixing your own performance.

Track the current production while leaving room for your own performance.

Keep movements precise while remembering what gives them a reason.

Find the exchange, mark the turns and keep your attention available.
