Great rehearsal. We made a lot of headway.
Sunday – on stage dressed by 2 – end at 4:30.
We have to be better by Monday. No one is in the first slot, so we can have more time with Freida. Get in here by 8:30- dressed & makeup by 9. If it takes you longer, come in earlier. I am here by 7.

In

Jared will help the sub direct the scenes. No one is allowed to go anywhere. Begin with scene 17, page 27 in my gray
script book – “we have the results of the vote” – hit the bricks – Billy’s We
marched down to the gate and a lot of us……Scene 19- to the end of the class
period. Have other kids read lines for people who are absent.

Your
lines are choppy. Look at Italian
movies and see how the women act.
Watch the older women on My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I have the DVD in
the back by the overhead projector. The way they use their hands is the way
you should. Listen to You Tube. You look Italian and you flirt Italian –
now live it.

I really did feel like we made progress. If we continue to improve like this during class Friday and Sunday's rehearsal, Frieda won't be watching the same play she did Wednesday. It will be totally better, Glory Days 2.0. But we have to keep working for that to happen
ReplyDeleteTonights practice to me was a huge improvement. We brought a good attitude and got a bunch of work done. It look very good tonight. Keep up the hard work guys!
ReplyDeleteIn the welfare scene we need to act and react. For most of us we are just acting and saying our lines. If you're on stage then you must be involved.
ReplyDeleteI can not say it enough, but react react react! If you don't understand a line ask. Hayden your accent is actually pretty awesome, but don't drop it. We are doing well, just not good enough.
ReplyDeleteWe have along way to go. Accents are getting better, but they are not where they should be. Keep uo the work and do not go down hill. Keep going up.
ReplyDeleteY'all need to have a good attitude everytime you go into practice like what cody say if you do that every practice you guys could accomplish so much more don't act tiered and down keep a good fun active attitude if you do that you will put other people in a good mood and y'all will get so mucb more accomplished y'all need to work in order to be good y'all should no that by now...so keep working with a good attitude and y'all will be awesome
