How long do you need to wear a new pair of shoes before they feel worn in? A week? Longer?
There’s a process of the shoe adjusting to conform to your feet, and your feet getting to know the shoes. It takes time, and it’s pretty much unavoidable.
There’s the same process with an ensemble. Every time you perform together, if you pay attention, the ensemble adjusts a little more, gets a little more comfortable. It feels more and more like it’s supposed to feel.
Every performance brings you closer to that feeling of seamlessness that comes from a perfectly broken in shoe, from a perfectly comfortable ensemble.
