First Rehearsal: What's going on?
What's going on in the scene? Why are we saying the things we're saying? What are we saying? What do we mean by it? How does what we mean change throughout the scene? How does what we want to say change? How does how we say it change? Beats. Look at the beats. What are my beats? What are the best words to annunciate what I'm doing within these beats? Words are hard.
Great. Now we have beats. We have beats that make sense. We have beats that are fun to play. Now what? (Now what? Now what?)
Now we put it on its feet and see if it can run.
It runs. It took a couple of stumbles along the way, but it got to the finish line. Now again. And again. Third time's the charm. Nice. Little bit of cleaning up, then it'll run like new. Well, not new, but like it should.
Again then.
Feels stiff. Why? Who is this person I'm interacting with? Rose? No, the person. Oh. Let's find out.
Now I know. Not strangers turned scene partners, but strangers turned scene partners turned friends (I hope).
Now What?
Again, but Better.

Overall this week's rehearsal went well. Before we actually got together, both of us did a lot of personal character work to try and figure out who we were, and meeting up to do the scene definitely changed some of the things I originally had written out for my character, because they didn't fit with how Marilyn was playing her character. We figured out our beats in the scene and the best word to articulate how we are feeling at that moment and what we are doing. Then we put it on its feet a few times to try and get the beats down, figure out our chemistry, and figure out how we interact. We got the scene to a place where it felt good to us, but we knew it still had a some workshopping to do. Memorization for this part of the scene felt good too. After we got it to this point, we spent some time getting to know each other a little more, since we didn't know each other that well. At the moment, I feel that we are in a good place with the first 2 minutes, so now we just need to get that way with the whole scene.
