Be involved
Care
You want to be successful in s urvinging.
Everyone must connect
We must see the struggle
Be honest – be in the moment – don’t act like you
are acting
Become the character
Step on lines.
Why do you enter and why do you exit?
Discordant notes – Casanova looks at suitcase,then
announces KILROY!
Reread the script.
Everyone needs to struggle for the audience to care.
You should not be visiting backstage.
Cheat out to audience throughout show.
Fewer whistles and more whispers with wind –
especially at the beginning.
Look at videos of the pope in Mexico or when he was
in NYC – people revered him and just wanted to touch the hem of his
gown. Do this with La Madrecita.
|
Kilroy
|
Watch arms throughout play. Do not make gestures below the waist.
Hold up a pic of your one true love at the
beginning.

move to play the guitar & Brooke’s hand moves – guard smokes

Gypsy, look at your cards. Sydney, scratch, etc.

not as hard.

suitcase, announces Kilroy and Kilroy is wearing his gloves.

This place is confusing. Nothing seems real – concerned curious
something is real strange. Examine shoes.
Watch being too presentational – my fault – lines to
audience.
What do they do with the stiff – terrified

woman. Resist when Gutman takes them.

I'll work on my feet, positioning and loudness. Ready to get into competitions!
ReplyDeleteEveryone is doing a good job reacting to me as the guard and hiding and looking scared
ReplyDeletekylie, good job at not staring at the exit sign to hard
ReplyDeleteGreat work yesterday everyone!! the play is getting better each time I watch it. make sure you're in the play not watching it!
ReplyDeleteI'll work on keeping the cockiness throughout the play. Great job yesterday to everyone
ReplyDeleteI need to work on coming in stage left sometimes and laughing all the way off stage as Abdullah. Quixote needs to look a bit older
ReplyDeleteIf you have a line in the fugitivo scene say it louder because we can't hear you
ReplyDeleteGreat job everyone. Keep up the hard work.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to fix my sing-songyness and making all my lines sound different. I think the fugitivo scene will be 10x better if we constantly keep in our minds what Frieda said. Great job yesterday everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on figuring out what to do about makeup. Everyone is doing really good, just work on making the audience care about what happens to you.
ReplyDeleteFinding something that connects your character to yourself could really help everyone become their character
ReplyDeleteMy goal right now is to become more suave and really put emphasis on the love Casanova gave to women
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try and show my affection for people in different ways. I will move my hands slow on Jonah but fast on everyone else
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to find all the time we say dreams heart or sleep and figure out a song for it
ReplyDelete-Elijah
Be louder during the fugitive play and be more desperate to get on the plane - Justin
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to get more into each of my characters in the beginning, and carry that on consistantly for the whole show
ReplyDeletethe fugitivo scene is too loud that we can't hear the lines
ReplyDeleteEveryone is doing a great job! Amy keep working on the age of your character and jonah don't back up when you say don't look at me so the street cleaners can touch your shoes
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs to be sure to be on stage On time.
ReplyDeleteI need to be more as prudence is described repulsive and just also very lost and confused. I agree with Frita lets make the villagers more desperate for the crowd to feel for us when we leave on fugitivo or don't. Everyone is working really hard and im so excited to see whats in store for us lets keep it up!!
ReplyDeleteLets also look at how kylie touches people differently it looks good becuase it shows how Rosita,loan shark and guard feels about that person!
ReplyDeleteWe need to be sure we all know how to wear/put on the Street Cleaner outfits! And we need to be more creepy and we all need to laugh stupidly and be different at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI cannot look at the well, for I am blind
ReplyDeletePro-nounce-ee-ate your words:)
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to stick out my bum and squish my face and think of myself as very high class through out lady M's scenes.
ReplyDelete
