Kaia Mann

This week was good! We finished blocking both of our scenes, and were able to run through them both pretty successfully! The memorization on the first scene we had down well and the second scene was much shorter, making the process go quicker. The challenge of our second scene is that it will be harder to get into the moment since we don’t have any props or scenery in the scene. It is just us walking together almost filling space until we kiss. 

The feedback on our first scene was good--to slow down a little bit and not rush the scene because we were going so fast. I think that slowing it down will not only help us with playing the scene more honestly, but also to take our time to develop our characters and really drop in.

Our biggest challenge this week is the kiss!! As close friends, Alec and I may be a little awkward, which we think fits the scene, but we worry that we will be too awkward! To do this successfully, we need make sure we are completely dropped in to our characters and let go of who we are outside of it. No laughing allowed. Looking forward to getting feedback on our second scene today!
