Okay, I decided in the end to direct my reading myself, and reading this helped a lot, because even though it is a script in hand reading, it has a lot of banter and I'm thinking about how to get these things across.
The idea of having authority and taking it is really hard sometimes, and to both work with actors and be clear about what you/I want them to do is sometimes difficult. I know I've been socialized to not take charge, so it is hard for me to step up and do it.
I love the dance metaphor, and completely agree with that. (Miss dancing. Miss ballet and barre work, even though I sucked.)
