This week we worked a lot on further developing our characters. Mika wanted to be sure that she worked more on the annoying Claire/over the top voice. And I have been focusing on the given circumstances of Catherine more as well. I'm really starting to integrate this idea that Catherine is crazy ( or at least thinks she's crazy into the scene). At the beginning of the scene Catherine is obviously thinking about hallucinating her dad last night and about how she might be crazy, but she doesn't quite show it. However, throughout the scene as Claire is interagating her, this unravels a bit, and Claire becomes more and more aware of it, which might inform some of Mika's lines. I think that it is important that Mika and I focus on the beat changes throughout the scene and the obstacles and objectives of our characters but that we also play our super-objectives (mine is to convince myself and my sister that I am not crazy).
