Anyone in the world
Wow, this semester went by so fast! It's strange to think that we'll be performing in 5 days now. I'm both ready and not at all ready!

Anyway, Emily and I went to the meeting with Rebecca and we got a lot of good notes from her. I needed to work more on holding myself up more because Claire is such a powerful woman. However, I also have to let Emily take some control of the scene, otherwise, we won't get deep into the big fight. I think both of us felt like we didn't have enough time with Rebecca, so we actually asked her if we could meet again on Friday. She said yes and we are going to work on the scene more with her there to give us suggestions. We have also been trying to practice in front of friends to help with the stage fright. 

Overall though, we have a great scene going, it's just getting the final loose ends all tied up. But are there any other tactics you all have been using for practice and to not get stuck in a rut? I don't know if I'll need it but I want to make sure I have every trick in the book in case I do.

    Hi there Emily and Solena! I am really looking forward to your final presentation. I think that both of you have done an amazing job conveying your own personalities in the interpretation of very strong characters like Claire and Catherine. Solena, you have a clear idea regarding the emotion of how Claire's reactions would look like in any scenario, but maybe giving yourself some physical sensations like a very strong perfume or an uncomfortable (but fancy) jacket will help your body remembering to sit in a more rigid way (and therefore, to look more like Claire). I wish you the best of lucks for your final!
