Last Thursday I spent some time watching rehearsals for From Eden to Eternity. It was great to spend some time with the cast as they prepare to go on the road again with this production. It was also good to be reminded of the impact of the Bible story being acted out in front of my eyes.
My job for the day had been to take photographs, but it’s quite difficult to concentrate on this as the character of Jesus is being crucified before me.
A few weeks previously I had been to interview Bec Rogers, one of the Saltmine actors and the director of the production. She had commented that for her she learnt a lot through seeing the Bible, rather than reading words on a page. Bec has Dyslexia, which means that taking written information in is difficult for her. Seeing the Bible story enabled her to make a much stronger connection with what was going on.
