March 31

March 31, 2016 Everyone	At the beginning, everyone was moving at the same tempo and everyone was one level – straight. Don’t laugh when you are frozen – brooke and Sydney WE HAVE TO HAVE WIND ON narrow steep way. Someone pick up the camellia DICTION At the end, Everyone looks at Quixote – Shhh then look out at exit sign and freeze. Wind whispers die out. Villagers moving into Kilroy’s entrance are in a straight line and there are no levels. Must have hard freezes then move out naturally – do not move eyes. Ladder needs to be at an angle EACH time. During Kilroy’s chase scene at the beginning, try to grab him and miss. Kilroy, try to dodge some people. This one scene looks too staged. Really a great job – better than district. Keep making the lines fresh.  When you meet new people, treat them differently.  Don’t treat everyone the same. 5 min – Cognac 10 min – I gotta find something to cash in on 15 min – Where’s the grey hound depot 20 min – Anxious old hawk 25 min –Violets in the mountains can’t break these rocks. 30 min – Maky – the street cleaners are waiting for you 35 min – Block 14
Kilroy	Where was the wallet and the picture? When you first come in be a slow record…. Excited, then slower, then look then line. React to the streetcleaners. Be more vocal when you fall during end of play and with Esmeralda Fight after Guard takes you off the Fugitivo Lean in for a kiss after I am sincere Move head naturally when speaking to villagers and Casanova… talk as you are moving your head. Change your personality with each new person/group of people you meet. Do not stay the same – Shanghaied is an example of how you change. This is what one of the judges said – need to see your heart. Sleep under the stars – first time excited Sleep under the stars – second time resigned to fate. What happened to one true woman’s pic. Rose between teeth. This PLACE is confusing sounds like this play is confusing.
Gypsy	Keep coughing and stay in character until you are two feet out of curtain line.
Quixote	More energy – I know you are getting frustrated, but you are doing a sing song. A little faster on some of lines. Show blue ribbon prominently at the beginning and end. Choose one among shadows – look at these people – squint your eyes Seemed too memorized and slow.
Survivor	Come in desperate for water, see fountain,and try to rush to it. More disappointed when there is no water. Be more dead, head lolled to one side – legs and arms at unnatural poses.
Gutman	Did you say I sorry buddy?!?!?!!? Wear helmet as the airplane.
Carly lights	We need to see Gutman when he moves the ladder and touches his hips. Gutman, during one of the scenes, roll your chair around and with back to audienc, move your head and say block….
Prudence	Fight for  your suitcase
Prudence and Olympe	Exchange coats and hats
Stage lights	Light on Gutman block 12 Light on Madrecita during her curses Light on Kilroy’s entrance.
Streetcleaners	HISS and move bodies weirdly – only Payton and Evan are weird. Move hands crazily. Crouch.
Gypsy and Gutman	Exchange cigs as we talked about during class Don’t move during caged bird lines.
Olympe	As Prudence, age must match voice – see Ms. Keeler
Guard Riley	After you say Hey – scratch or something After chasing Kilroy off – escort him with a gun. After Fugitivo, take extra suitcases off USL, not across CS.
Casanova	Kuehler likes foot on back? Louder at times we could not hear or understand you – especially at Morris code.  See him blink then rush to him. Say honor like you say Jacque Casanova Say I am Jacque Casanova with a flourish of your cape. Pose beat lines The knees in each scene seemed staged. Do something different.
Marguerite	Legs are a problem, make a choice to hold them apart WIDE and pull your skirt up a little. Purse is gone – do not look up – look down and around.  Faster on discovery. Don’t anticipate Casanova on knees. When you can’t find a wrap after the cabana boy tears your dress. Look around and make the decision to stuff the dress in your bra so you don’t have to hold it.
Casanova and Gutman	You are not believable when you see the people.  Actually see and react to these poor souls.
Elijah	Cut the storm noise until we can figure out when to use it.  People need to whisper instead.
Soldiers	React to the scene – Evan look around – having Riley’s back.  Riley move among people and scare them. Hold a gun up to someone’s head, then click and laugh exiting.
Esmerlada	We need to see the decision to let him lift the veil.
