various rehearsal notes
‘Gladys looking into the past future … when talking about change (“wouldn’t expect things to say the same”) - looks to camera - beautiful looking into indeterminate timezone (not blank looking at camera).’
Another note re Liz’s character: ‘qualities of warmth, of remembering, of uncertainty, of listening, of moments of sadness that you are sitting on.’
‘see-sawing of psychological dialogue between two (or multiple?) subjects’

What might the camera represent? an organ? a missing body part? a passive observer?

‘suggestions, but not full explanation of some kind of loss or event’ - suggestions of trauma, loss, complication … in relationships
Woman:
- waiting to see if another question is coming
- lovely gentle smile
- a compassionate, “Do you?”
- seriousness with which she answers questions … listening to a question.
- a moment of sadness, of remembering. the kind which occurs before, ‘how was it that your father died?’
- these are moments of ‘tone’.
- naughty, sad/silent, tearings of fabric (of memory), moment to camera commenting, moment to camera (oblivious - full of other thought - looking into distant past), pragmatic moment (handkerchief, skirt glasses, loving/concerned)
