I was just reminded about one particular rehearsal with James - TopicsExpress



          

I was just reminded about one particular rehearsal with James Sims. He portrayed the role of my ex husband, in the production I wrote about my real life story. As a survivor of street life and domestic violence, preparing for that show made me re live a lot of pain I put behind me. At one particular point in the rehearsal, as I directed James in the punching scene, my mind went completely blank. As he raised his hand to hit the actress (portraying me), in that moment, I was living that horror again. When I froze, my cast knew it. We stopped, prayed, then eventually continued rehearsal. I shared this to say. Whatever pain, crisis or horrifying circumstances you may have endured in your life time, turn that pain into power. Let it fuel you into your healing, so you can help heal someone else. -Peachanda.
