"The scene starts when you start to come off the backline. Making a motion to come on but then retreating gives the audience the impression that you're not confident in your own show, and they lose a bit of confidence in it as well. Same goes for whatever emotion or feeling you have on your face when you enter a scene. Even if you haven't said anything yet, the audience clocked your vibe, and changing it up because you doubt your idea will ring as untrue to them. The audience sees everything, so bailing on anything is always caught. Better to just trust your team and see what organically unfolds."
