Waiting for the Story

Waiting for the Story

Introduce something

about the character,

an initial impression,

to later destroy,

maybe a sort of cockiness,  

whatever that might mean.

Show an bit of vulnerability,

maybe short-lived bliss,

before doubt filters in.

And then add the drama.

Something from a past

not too clearly expressed,

for fear the audience

might get bored.

Follow with a tragic

less than clear ending.

Tragic here is easier.

Something uncomfortable

leaving the audience

less likely to discuss

what they must have missed.  

Sketches from some of the poses performed in the session attended yesterday. When sorting through my sketches this morning I couldn’t help wondering, then rearranging them, thinking of a prevue poster or trailer, for the story waiting to be told.
