HI GUYS! So we've been busy little bees, and working in all the notes you guys gave us as well as woking on more details about the set and props. After being on break, we felt kinda disconnected from our characters, and it took a lot more energy and time to bounce back into something we deemed acceptable for a while. Though, during that time, we thought it best to rework some blocking-and we reworked a lot of it. We really wanted to focused on not being so close to each other, especially when we yell, in order to make the situation more dynamic and realistic. Also, we realized that we didn't have specific intentions behind all of our lines, and that we were saying them just because they were in the script, so we stopped and figured that all out. We spent a lot of time working on how to portray the grief our characters both feel regarding the death of our father, and how to carry that out throughout the entire scene. All in all, it's been a little more rough of a rehearsal week than we would like or had anticipated, but we're still making progress and doing our best. We have confidence that it will all work out, and that we can get everything to where we want it to be for our showing on Friday. Hope everyone else is having a good week of rehearsals!!
