FLSB 4/28

Tonight I only had my whole cast for a half hour.  We had a quick warm up with Bada Bada, then performing an improv scene in character.  This game helps the actors get into their characters and go over the top with their charcters.  I enjoyed watching them really get into the scene, Calli talking nonstop, Isaiah trying to calm everyone down and take a logical approach the the problem, Summer finding the dark side behind everything, and Danielle doing whatever it takes to brong the attention back to her.  Garrick couldnt come until later.  I also had them walk in the space, and one at a time say a line of theirs.  When someone speaks, everyone has to stop and look at them.  I wanted them to play this so that they could get more used to saying their lines clearly without holding a script.  For the rest of the rehearsal we ran through the script and rre blocked with the new set.  Everyone was discovering new movements and blocking, and that made the rehearsal feel very productive even though it was very short.
