In tomorrow's pre-shift, state the one thing you want the cast to be attuned to tonight — not a task, an attunement. The table that is about to tip. The section that is running behind. The energy that is off before the shift names it. Then in the post-shift ask one question: where did we read the building correctly tonight, and where did we miss it?
