As we are pretty far into the rehearsal prosses, blocking has not become to essential question anymore. Blocking has only become the way to specific means. How is our message best articulated, only if it serves the "story" is blocking necessary. Experimentation is the best part of rehearsing. Not one rehearsal is the same and the art is not to make each run be the same but organically adapt to changing circumstances. That has been the best part, adapting to your scene partner is what keeps the scene alive and sparkly. I am always looking for ways for Johanna to affect (or is it effect) me more harshly (and vice-versa)and thereby raising the stakes. It is interesting to see how props can change a scene. We introduced hand sanitizer to our scene and peter became much meaner as a result. We are doing good progress and 2 more rehearsals should be enough for us to finish.
All the best,
Flavio and Johanna
