CRAZY that we have to perform our scene in a week. Time truly flies when you're having fun.

In our last rehearsal, we tried the laser game we played in class last week. The pros of this game are that it forces you to listen and react when your partner is speaking. The cons, of course, are that it's hilarious and it's hard to remain serious while kicking at your partner. Our next move was to walk through blocking slowly and deliberately, trying to really think about why we might move to a certain place or look at each other at a certain time. In other words, we walked through the scene trying to be really deliberate about our actions and the reasons behind our actions.

We have another rehearsal scheduled for this afternoon, and we have a few things planned. First, we have to really consider where we are in relation to each other and to the audience. I think we have a real problem sometimes considering how things look from an outside perspective.

This process has been a lot of fun. Rehearsing is like homework that we actually look forward to, but is somehow much harder than other work. We can't wait for the final performance! It'll be  areal hoot.
