The way that Cynthia lets us into Elphaba in the Oz Dust ballroom is
So special and so moving, and it is a massive turning point for both
Elphaba and Glinda, and I think, um, it was just such a beautiful
Experience, and everyone was just kind of holding space for Elphaba
In that room, and you could hear a pin drop every second of that
Entire day. It was really, really beautiful. It wasn't enough just
To have a piece of choreography, 'cause then it would just be
Choreography, it's just her dancing. What we were looking for was
What, what was she trying to say with this piece, and what was she
Trying to do? And once we got to the, the crux of it, once we got to
The, the center of what this piece was for her, then we could find
The language, the words, and the words are the movement, the, the
The singular movements that we put together to create an
Entire paragraph or a sentence or a song, and that's the
Language we had to find. So, once we found what we wanted
All those things came together to share the pain that she
Was enduring and to share the loneliness and to share the
Defiance, but also the surrender to being okay with being alone
