January 18 Rehearsal

Remember that character/ play maps are due January 21.

Everybody - Slow down lines when the Fugitivo happens.
     Build up to Hermano - village people.
     During monologues, everyone freeze.
     Stay in character all the time.
Marguerite - Be louder in Fugitivo scene - crazy - frantic
Marguerite and Casanova - can't see faces- move heads up a little when on floor.
Quixote - look around before talking about humanity
Esmeralda - be happy when you see and choose Kilroy. Make eye contact with Kilroy, change your facial expressions so they match your words.
Kilroy - louder when talking to Gypsy. Be more desperate when you say at this point.... I will take any advice....
Kilroy and Esmeralda - if Kilroy sees a change in Esmeralda - through dialogue - it should be evident.
Rosita/A Ratt - vary facial expressions.
Lady M - good job being Lady M.
Prudence - Slower and louder - look at Cruella Deville
Guard Riley - more nervous when Gutman is nervous.
Gutman - when do you start worrying about the survivor.
Quixote and Kilroy - be more to the sides of the well at the end.
La Madrecita - don't look around - you are blind.
Gypsy - watch letting the end of your sentences die.
Pretty boy (EVAN) and Marguerite - when you enter, laugh and be engaged so the audience will be shocked when he steals from her.  Marguerite - this is another nail in your coffin.
Evan and Brooke - work on dance - Smooth Criminal for us to show the "seamier" side of Camino - drug deals, drinking, wanton women, etc.  
We need
cigarette lighters
cigarettes
rubber tips for cane
cane for Lord Mulligan

Advice from Lupita Nyong'o, The “12 Years a Slave” star, talked to Backstage amidst her awards season whirlwind about failing gracefully, the Yale School of Drama, and working with director Steve McQueen on the movie that eventually won her the Oscar. “As actors, you become an expert at starting over,” Nyong’o said. “Every single role brings with it an ignorance and an insecurity, and so you have to approach it with the same curiosity and humility. I’m always nervous. Doesn’t matter how many times I do this. But I remind myself it’s because I care. Steve would say, ‘Fail and then fail better!’ And that environment was so liberating. It’s not about getting it right. It’s about getting it truthful.”
