Mo Macsai-Goren

This week began with some significant tweaks to the staging as well as some changes in some of the beats in the script. We added a chair for Olivia to sit in by my bedside and changed some of the blocking so our close yet rocky relationship can be seen better. The second half of our scene was our biggest concern after last week so we spent a significant amount of time on that. We reworked the dancing beat so the emotional connection of Doug and Kayleen could be better shown. We had some time in the Blackbox to mark all of these changes and run it a few times. It is coming along well! There are still some beats we need to work on, specifically clarifying intentions in the first half of the scene. Once we specify and clarify our intentions the given circumstances of Doug and Kayleen's relationship will be clearer going into the awkward and climactic second half. We are both very excited to work in our one on one this week to get more specific notes and have time to really work each beat. Here's to the next (and last) week!!!!!
