Anyone in the world
This week was super important for our rehearsal process because we were preparing to share the first full run of our scene in front of the class on Friday! We didn't have a super extravagant rehearsal or anything, but we had a couple of revelations while running through our scene! I think the biggest breakthrough part of our rehearsal was when we were running the part where Callie and Sarah are both in the "bed", and Callie says that they will need to convince Ceasar that they are actually sleeping. The reason that it was a breakthrough is that we had a moment where we both synchronically scooted down into a more sleep-like position. We both laughed and decided that this would be a really good piece of spontaneous blocking to keep because it would make people laugh smile It actually turned out that that was one of the parts where we got the audience to laugh out loud!!! We are really excited to rehearse this week and to have our one on one coaching this weekend to continue pushing ourselves deeper into the scene!

Specific things we worked on:
- text fluidity + memorization
- the chemistry between the two of us
- the blocking for the pull out couch part of the scene
- practicing with our props smile
