--Recap of 12/9-12/14--

Julien and I have been trying to practice every day together for at least an hour, and doing that has been really helpful. We are very rarely able to rehearse in the black box, but rehearsals in the black box are always so much more productive than rehearsals in a classroom. There is just something about being in the black box that gets you ready for performance, whereas a classroom has limitations: for example, you cannot say "I'm calling the police" loudly after the events that took place on campus. Rehearsing in classrooms did give us some perspective into how bizarre Catherine and Hal's relationship is-- if any sane person observed their interactions, it would be alarming to say the least.

We seem to blog every week about how we change the set, and we, once again, modified the set and it felt so much more natural.
