Stage & Theater Lobby.
April 23 @ 6:00pm.
Our rehearsals have a tendency to start rather dully, which is not good and is something I need to fix. Maybe it's my generally relaxed demeanor or maybe it's just that everyone is tired at the end of the day, but in either case, I need to redesign my rehearsal plan so something changes.
We started today with another Philip's and Jillian's casts. Boppity Boppity Bop or whatever it's called.
THE GAME:
One individual stands in the middle (director) while everyone else stands in a relatively large circle around this individual. The individual will point to someone and will either say Boppity Boppity Bop (to which you must say Bop before the individual finishes saying Boppity Boppity Bop), Bop (to which you must stay silent), Elephant (to which you put your arms in an elephant trunk formation and the people on either side of the pointee must make the ears), and many other actions of this nature. This game is high energy, fast, and forces everyone to be alert and ready. (A great help in fixing my issue).
We proceeded to work on a particularly high energy scene in the latter portion of the performance. The intensity is good, but I think next time we'll work even harder on building up a lot more and really developing a greater feel for the kind of fire within that I'd like them to magnify.
