Normally, before a performance an acting troupe has a "tech-week" to iron out wrinkles and polish different scenes/numbers. We squished it all into today.Our basic schedule for the day was choreography, lunch, music, run-through, dinner, and another run-through. However, the atmosphere of our "tech-day" is best described in the words of my friends and fellow students.
There were several who felt the day was "filled," "busy," "stressful," "scattered," "mixed," "tiring," and "demanding." We did a lot of work on a lot of things, but they didn't all connect until our run-throughs later in the day.
Today was nowhere near as intense emotionally as yesterday! Many girls believed that today was more "uplifting," "reassuring," "comfortable," "fun" and "releasing" than our practice on Wednesday.
Today was "worshipful" as we worked on "Oceans" and "In Christ Alone." There was marked "improvement" on our songs over yesterday, and our run-throughs flowed fairly well without too many stops. The chance to put everything together was "energizing" and "invigorating." There was definitely a sense of "bonding" and "uniting" as we shared some of the most impactful moments of our week with each other over lunch. We had a chance to be "adventurous" and a feeling of determination to work together permeated the second run-through. The fact that the concert is tomorrow is incredibly "exciting" for all of us!
Overall, our day was "amazing!" One girl shared with me, "I felt like I connected with who God made me to be," and I couldn't agree more. God is showing up. The students shared the knowledge that He was in the room with us today.
Tomorrow's the concert. It's the pinnacle of the week; the moment we've been waiting for. But just because camp ends tomorrow doesn't mean that God's work with these girls will end. Lives have been changed this week at camp, mine included! Tomorrow during the concert, hopefully you will see a glimpse of the work he's done this week. Pray that God will prepare the hearts of the girls, the audience, and if you're coming, your heart as well. God's moving in STELLO! Can you see Him?
