We played Viola Spolin's Theatre Games as our warm-up today, and they did well with it. They're getting better at noticing the small details instead of just the big picture. We got a scene and a half blocked today! It was a really good rehearsal overall.

I found some of the music for the show today, and I'm really excited. It's an hour long YouTube video titled "Funny Music." I'll have to download and cut it down, but i'm excited to be able to add another element to my show!
Adapt. That is my theory. You must always be prepared to adapt. Find something that interests you about your character, and make it your own. Circumstances will change, lines will be altered, and you always have to be prepared. Learn who your character is when you're portraying them, and know them so well that you could convey them convincingly to an audience without any lines or setting.
We will be blocking tomorrow in B101, as well as continuing to play theatre games. I turned my EE in today, so technically I don't have to continue playing the games, but they seem to really be helping, so I think I'll continue them with my cast.I may have two cast members out tomorrow, but hopefully they will both be able to make it. I will be blocking scenes in the blackbox, and am excited to see the cast members bring their characters to life through movement.
We worked on paying attention to the small details of the play today. I had 3/7 of my cast members out, so we couldn't do a whole lot with blocking or run-throughs. I also talked to my cast about what they felt the cast or themselves individually need the most work on. It was a good rehearsal overall.
Two of my actors told me today that they will be out of rehearsal all week, so that's pretty frustrating. One of them was out last Thursday as well, which means she'll miss 3 rehearsals in a row. It's really hard to block scenes with a character who's in nearly every scene missing, and another who's in most of them.We had 2 cast members out sick on Thursday, so we used a lot of hand sanitizer throughout the rehearsal. Since two major characters were out, we focused mostly on character relationship development. I had them do activities that their characters would do with each other, and ask each others characters questions. It went well, and I think it helped them get to know their characters and the other characters better.
