Anyone in the world
One of the challenges that we experienced in previous rehearsals was the mobility of our characters, since we realized that we were not moving at all and felt stuck to the "porch." Today we decided to address it by adding two chairs that we would use to change locations and talk. We worked on making moments less awkward since our scene includes a lot of silence and kisses😘(we are substituting the smooch). We got a lot of laughs out which from our perspective helps us to become more comfortable and authentic.

PS: if you are an upper classmate, would you mind gifting us two EMPTY beer bottles? 🍼

Thank you!
Lauren & Martin.

    Love the ideas that you guys decided on! I think adding more to your set will add more activity within the scene as a whole. Also, I could definitely help you out with empty beer bottles!

    I love that you were able to come up with alternatives for your scene instead of having awkwardness. I feel that in my scene we also have that same problem where the whole beginning of our scene is standstill and feels awkward to not have movement or actions for the text.

    In our text, we also have the use of drugs (cigarettes', and wine) which were trying to figure out how to incorporate that.

    I love this scene! You both do a good job bringing a funny feeling to a not so funny event. I am excited to see the final result after you guys change different aspects!

    Finding ways to change locations in the scene, or "having a place to go" like Madisyn has mentioned, is difficult I think! Especially if the scene seems like it takes splace in one specific location. I'm curious to see how you guys approach it. Haha and like Makana already offered, I can supply some empty bottles too if y'all still need it!
