Today we got our energy back! I only had Isaiah, Danielle, and Summer today, and we were very productive. We started with the improv games NO BUT and SPEAKIBNG OF, anf these games helped my actors speak with intention and act very energetically and really get into it. They needed to bring their energy back to the one act, and it was back tonight. Isaiah continues to suprise me. He always speaks with storng intentions and makes strong movement decisions. Tonight, he focussed on acting opposing to Summer. He stays calm when Summer is frantic, and he is frantic when Summer is, well for lack of a better word, creepy. She was speaking a scene tonight too loudly and over dramatic, so I told her to speak with realization and intention, and also quieter. Danielle and I were currently sitting out and were both felt shivers run down our spines when she did this. Her acting with Isaiah panic created a beautiful scene. Danielle has been working on establishing who her character is and how she should say her lines. Danielle is improving phenomenally with her acting when she is not speaking. There is a good amount of time in the show where the actor are listening to others speaking or out of scenes entirly, nd Danielle always justifies her character at these times. Whether it is grabbing a drink, or coming to her own realization, she is always fully committed. My cast is really beginning to understand the feel of this show and we are moving through the script at a very good rate!
