Iris and I rehearsed a few times during this week and I think it went really well. The things we focused on were memorization and provoking the character. We ran through the scene over and over which helped out a lot because by the end of our practice, we memorized almost the whole scene. After working on that, we started looking at the lines that needed to be said differently. I remember Iris asking me how she should say “I think you’re upset and exhausted” in order to make my response more powerful. I told her that she just needed to get under my skin and  emphasize the “I” which then would make me emphasize my “I was FINE until you got here”. We talked about how this scene is a sister relationship scene so going back and forth with our lines as if we were real siblings would help us tell the story without just showing. 

Thank you for your undivided attention!
