-Your actors should work on memorizing their lines. Also, they should memorize/remember the line before their's. Finally, they should have been off book today
-Starting Monday we are doing run throughs so make sure your scenes are blocked
-Reminder: We have practice this Thursday after school! (Even though we have off on Firday)
All our scenes were blocked and our actors knew their cues and lines pretty well back before break, but most of me and dillon's actors slacked off a bit and forgot to learn their lines, except for Jimmy and Hank. Rehearsing in the chorus room kind of sucks, not a very good space... Could be try having it in the conference room next time maybe? How was the rest of practice after I left?
ReplyDeletetoday nothing significant was accomplished in tech. We didn't have any building material so we made pretty much no progress. Hopefully, even with this da a bust, we will still have most of the set done before the weekend. The bathroom stalls are still a big dilema so we'd love to hear any ideas.
ReplyDeletefor the bathroom stalls why don't you make them one wall of ply wood on wheels for easy motion and cover it with tiles or have them painted to look like tiles and you don't necessarily have to have a real toilet you can draw one or hijack a car seat or something
ReplyDeleteTwo of my actors are almost off book. All of my scenes are blocked except for the song. Hopefully we can done with that tomorrow. Stephanie was not here today so I could barely do anything except for running through lines and tell Don to practice the song with Lena.
ReplyDeleteThe bathroom stalls... ugh. Horrifying. I actually have a question for whoever's directing the bathroom scene. I want to talk about where your people are positioned on stage, and where the 'action' happens. I'm a bit confused, and it matters for the last scene of the show (where Josh finds Dillon Zombie in the bathroom and realizes it's a senior prank).
ReplyDeleteThe dance was a little rough today, but that was to be expected being the first day back from break. The dream sequence looked great though. We just need to perfect the transition from zombie to zombie. It will be easier when we're using real entrances. I hope people didn't mind me keeping my actors a little later than usual, delaying our directors' meeting. I think the extra reps really did help though.
i agree with pible. today wasn't productive. in hine sight we should have done work with the risers. im hoping to have a good amount fo the st loaded in with in the week.
ReplyDeleteanother note for thought that me and mr. D were talking about. 40 people on stage at once at all times is going to get extremely cramped. i guess this is some thing that we will have to confront when we gett all the scenes together running in the BB, with the set loaded in.
The people who need to stay are the people in the upstage scenes. That's about 18-20 people. They can do this easily. If it looks cramped or odd when you start running things, then you can address it somehow then, but I think it will work. Bathroom stalls, let's talk that one over in class while others make the bulletin board.
ReplyDeleteGET THOSE ACTORS OFF BOOK> It will make everything easier. Spread the word to everyone to get on here, read and comment.
So I thought my post was published because it wasn't because gmail sucks. Anyways, it was great having Austin with me today and to get him away from Tennis because he gave some helpful advice (particurarly about Aaron, which I thought was quite good for me). The only two that seemed to struggle a bit were Will, Aaron, and Ali. But Ali today (as in Tuesday) made up for that. I wish I knew what the situation for that bathroom was, but honestly whatever happens happens and I'll deal with it.
