I went home and my boyfriend plunked out the notes for me, and I had to learn and prepare that song just so I could learn and know how that feels. I've never had that kind of detail in a rehearsal process. Jason Moore is absolutely unbelievable.

• ... my father loved to take photographs of me. When I was nine I made my own costumes for a school play and I experienced becoming different characters.

There was everyday life and fantasy was dismantling that reality.
