Griffis

-a little faster tucker, I think you are setting the pace for our show

-you can be effective without going soooo slow

-Mac you are going too slow as well

-Sam you are doing great work!!

-Jonah I'm seeing less Jonah and more Kilroy... Good job!

-Kylie you are amazing. Don't anticipate kilroy's answer.

-Mac make sure Casanova has as much swag at the end as he does the first time you talk to Kilroy

-Evan you are moving too quick as lord mulligan, first appearance

-Kylie don't anticipate Sydney taking white flowers

-Sydney you have to realize purse is gone, don't just say line

-Jonah blink light randomly. make sure we know you are doing it and it's not just blinking.

-jonah's golden gloves need to be in bag if not on him. They would never be left in siege mares

-sing leaving on a jet plane in English

- add in throwing good before festival instead of Mac just hitting cane

-keep having a fiesta and dancing as Mac and Jonah say goodbye

-kadyn, you have to say "is that all?" FUNNY

Maky – vamoose louder.  Blow on gun when re-entering your house.

Someone needs to pull out bench for Jonah? ??\

Do not freeze during Jonah and Tucker’s last scene.

Amy & Payton – move and talk older

More people noises after fritos

Riley – work on Spanish – see Mia

Streetcleaners – costumes?  Give me the mask that is not painted.

Tucker – scream louder when dying  Have to have a lot more noise

Wind after narrow steep way

Kadyn – sing after that is all

Piping after I’m sick

Kadyn sings after Ja- ask Reagan M

Whispering after – smile tonight on the last cavaliers

Need to pronounce violets sweeter because sounds like violence

More of a change in Esmeralda – be bigger and flirtier

Quixote walk over to the fountain faster

Work on birdcall

Payton’s laugh sounds too girlie

Survivor – grunt more

Kylie and Tucker – we need to change your dance space

Fight dance needs work to make it smoother

The guard missed entrance – needs to already be out listening suspiciously to Cass & K.

Raymond & lady M need to make noise before entering.

Marg – your  vocabulary….. DICTION say out of date instead of place.

K & Cass do the brother thing during the dance.

Marg and young man need people noises before entering.

Freeze when Jonah and Kadyn run into each other.

Sing leaving on a jet plane in English and louder and DICTION

Freeze when Mac says crowned to the world.

Elijah, great freeze

I’m faced with three problems. – move – we will do this in class. – ask Grace

Fugitive patsy scene – couldn’t tell anyone was frozen

Kadyn – freeze during Mac’s crowned to the world.

Freida’s

Everyone – be involved in the dream

                        Not vocalizing what is happening

            Whispering throughout dead spaces

            Whispering before music at the end

Brooke – bend knees and be weird – not like a flute player – but it sounds great

Gutman laugh more

Freezes are still not working

Quixote – pebble in shoe

More bird sounds

See Quixote look about whom to choose

Sleep – Cassanova – make all references to dreams and sleep bigger and dreamier.

That applies to everyone.

Cass – more movement in arms at the beginning

Call people by names

Everyone laugh about patsy

More relationship between K and Cass

React more to purse

At the end – everyone help pass the ladder for Q & K  Go to well, stop, look at Q, pass the ladder then run to well

There must be highs in each block before the Muerto scene.

Kilroy – too profile, needs more strength in legs.

Kil – never got to me – from heart

Marg – attitude – to heck with honor

Marg – left without chew

Hats and umbrellas – need to see faces.

Kilroy & E – hand on leg, traveling, she moves to stop him, then changes her mind.

Gyp – throw tarot cards up and to back.

Marg and Kilroy – heads up at the end.

Brooke – use flute as a tool

Mine

STEP N LINES

Need to hear Kadyn before she comes out as survivor.

Payton hiding from guard was great

Light on Cass – pariah dog

People noises

K – one true woman – see her

Kylie – hold Jonah????

Shanghaied to audience

Caps for inspectors

  3. Great job everyone. Keep it up.

  4. Riley, make your stance, voice, and personality different from the guard and Nursie. The dress can't be doing all the work. :)

  8. sing leaving on a jet plane louder. its hard to here in the audience

    ReplyDelete
  9. We've had to make very few changes to the show which means things are flowing in the show naturally

    ReplyDelete
  10. Whisper more during dead spots. Make sure your walks are different

    ReplyDelete
  11. I also think the boxes would be great, and I need to work on getting cockier

    ReplyDelete
  12. Old people need to sound old and all characters need more reoccurring habits that reflect their character

    ReplyDelete
  13. Need to work on slowing down lines or pronouncing them better because sometimes out in the audience I can't understand what is being said.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think we shouldn't freeze when after Mac puts the crown thing on. and we also need to work on the first dance chaos thing

    ReplyDelete
  15. Make sure that when you unfreeze that you finish the motion you were in before you froze
    Maky when you say "how big is your heart" emphasize big and not is
    Kadyn we need to hear you before we see you as the survivor
    Maky you keep doing the same hand motions over and over
    Gaurds dont have happy feet
    Amy you need to continue to be old in the fugitivo scene
    Block 11 loses energy by the end of it
    Riley find a different walk for your two characters
    Brooke you need to look creepier
    Jonah does not need to move the bench toward the end he is supposed to be weak

    ReplyDelete
  16. Everyone should react to la madrecita's chanting because it is like a prediction or allusion of what is to come

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think we need to have places to put the street cleaner costumes like in a box or the wheel barrow so whoever needs them just had to look in one place

    ReplyDelete
  18. And when kadyn enters as the survivor, don't push the pylons because it rocks and the bird and banner might fall

    ReplyDelete
  19. The people noises are still not there also i do feel my voice should be alot older and my movements should be slower

    ReplyDelete
  20. Everyone is doing amazing. I was thinking, its a little strange that I am watching most of the time but then I'm part of it every once and a while, but everytime I'm actually in the story Madracita is with me, so what if we show her pulling me into the story?

    1. No. You are like a narrator. React to what is happening. When you strum, it should be directed to Gutman.

  21. amy can teach me the prayer thing???

    ReplyDelete
  22. I think we are doing really well for it being this early in the season. I'll work on the is that all line and understanding my character more. I think really looking into our character and who they are is going to help our play a lot. Once everyone understands who they are then we can really make progress and the show will get even better.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'll work on really making Lord Mulligan old. (I'll work on being slower in my first appearance as L.M.)

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'll make sure I get to all my places on time. I miss alot of my entrances and im going to fix it.\

  25. I will make sure that all of my lines are completely concreted in to my head. I'm going to act cockier and go faster. I'm going to work my hardest to really get my character down. We're doing great so far so everyone keep up the good work! I know this clinic is gonna go great

    ReplyDelete
  26. I need to work on going lower with my voice, as well as speeding up my lines. I need to work on coming up with different hand gestures and different ways to say my repeating lines. We need to keep working as hard on the play as we were at the beginning. We are starting to get into a routine rather than constantly trying to improve.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think the play is doing successful and success is key

    ReplyDelete
  28. Everyone is doing really great! Everyone should work on making a statement with their first entrance. Also try to move a little faster and work on making the scenes flow together smoothly. Work on freezing all at the same time. Good job guys!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. all the villagers, make sure your reacting to everything being done!

    ReplyDelete
  30. and like sydney said, we should just get some boxes and put names on them, that would save alot of time, and eliminate the confusion.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I think the speed through's really helped get timing down tonight! We are so close to having the right time! Keep it up

    ReplyDelete
  32. I agree with Sam that the vendors' scene at the beginning is completely boring. The villagers don't sound desperate. They need to sound like if they don't get him to buy something they aren't going to survive

    ReplyDelete
  33. Peyton needs to make her street cleaner laugh more Erie

    ReplyDelete
  34. Maki needs to speak clearer when she announces the restoration of her daughters Virginity

    ReplyDelete
  35. I like the idea of Jonahs entrance but can we hear people whispering things like is that the hero, is Kilroy the chosen one things like that and instead of just random music could we do a fanfare like in the old days when an important person showed up since Kilroy is essentially the only person who beats the hardships of the Camino and is the hero of the story

    ReplyDelete
  36. I need to figure out how to say the "is that all line because I'm still not saying it funny enough. Also I need to figure out all the times I'm supposed to sing. Over all it's coming together nicely, it's gonna be great!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Mac face needs to be more humiliating when being crowned
