The episode discusses the intricacies of production rehearsals at EMC and how they contribute to performer growth and family involvement.
This week, the conversation between Robin and Santina, touches on the things that are happening at EMC. Join us as we chat all things Production Rehearsals, from what they are to how they differ from regular rehearsals, the types of rehearsals that happen during these two weeks and why each matters, why this is where real growth happens for performers, physical prep for performers and their families, mental prep and what to expect emotionally during this stretch, how parents can coach without fixing, how performers should receive notes and corrections, recognizing the difference between normal exhaustion and genuine burnout, reminding your performer how far they've come, and action items for every family including volunteer ways to get more involved.
