Rehearsal!!

Bah I can't believe I have to write this on my own now, I have such bad memory!! Guys if I leave out anything just go leave some comments and hopefully I will read them. Ok? Alright lets start!

We actually got Ms. Norzian to observe us today! After making sure the lighting and the tech stuff was ok, we got to do a full rehearsal. It so did not turn out well la! Our positioning was off, our movements were awkward and we didn't play off each other's energy.. So dissapointed!! X(

Ah, but after that Ms. Norzian commented on our overall performance and gave us very helpful tips. We were to question our motives, find out why our characters reacted the way they did, even suggesting that we each have our own "quirks" to make our character more unique to us. Also we were told to work on our voice projection and the actions we carried out when we were not saying lines.

It was after that and a long series of retrys and re-dos that made us improve by a lot! Our positioning during scene 3 was dramatically changed, and I was given a lot more things to do than just shout. Personally, I felt that the changes made really brought more life and reality to our characters. The play seemed more real and our actions and intentions were clear.

There is still a lot more room for improvement I feel, we need to start experimenting more on our speech and movement to find what suits our characters more. Also after the experimenting is over we will need a lot of practice to pull it off.

For a closing note, I would like to say that you guys did a wonderful job, and that I will try harder not to smile on stage. I'm so sorry for throwing you stacy!!!

Best wishes,
