In our first round, we mainly focused on learning our lines and getting the overall sense of the story. I think it is important to know the story: to understand the circumstances and be able to adjust mood accordingly. At some instances as the exchange of sentences between two characters in our scene were small; we noticed that we tended to rush. Or we would often forget our lines. Remembering the our given circumstances, it not only helped to remember our lines but also to go by proper pace.

As this is the initial stage of our preparation for final scene, obviously felt that we are missing so much and I think it is a good think because it gives us a sense on what to work on. So for example, when we noticed that the way we are exchanging dialogue is really at one pace and tempo and there aren't that many ups and downs, it reminds of the fact that how mindful we have to be of our beats.

We will memorize all our lines for our next meeting and focus on some of  the issues pointed our above.
