Adrian and I completed our dress rehearsal last Tuesday, and while it was a good start, we still have much to work on. We rehearsed in lower Miller on Monday night and we felt strong with our memorization and dialogue. It was difficult to become familiar with my activity and the physical space as I didn't have a broom and lower Miller is nothing like the blackbox. When we performed on Tuesday, I did not feel as comfortable with the space or my activity so I appeared more self-conscious and guarded. This affected my interaction and dialogue with Hal ( Adrian). 

 Some of the things Adrian and I need to readdress include Catherine's activity during the scene, Hal's activity and presence, listening and responding, Catherine's tone and relationship with Hal, relationship to space, and building the momentum of the scene. The beginning of the scene is a lot of back and forth and I know I will need to save my energy once we reach the climax. This scene has a lot of potential and I am confident that Adrian and I will accomplish this to-do list effectively. Looking forward to seeing everyone's final scenes!
