Every rehearsal helps to uncover how it COULD go. Instincts take us pretty far and get better the more we play with and trust them. This has some bold character/cartoony aspects. Maybe that would change the more you defined the 5w's and goals, moment before/after etc but a cold/1st take can often give us some real discoveries that we really appreciate. It will often get more and more authentic and in real life feeling the more we trust the internal instincts/energies/emotions and feel less need to PROVE or force them on the external (the cry sounds/powers for instance.) Good job.
