Fourth Rehearsal.
Theatre Classroom.
April 18 @ 6:00pm.
This meeting was for Mike and Franchesca only. Phoebe was absent. When we started, I wanted to work on their behavior during scenes in which Phoebe would have her monologues. I also wanted to work on a specific scene between Mike and Franchesca in which Mike repeatedly copies Franchesca.
We also worked on a scene from the piece. In the scene John copies Johnna... that's all I'll say, otherwise it would spoil it. We ran through the scene a few times, making little adjustments as we went. Trying and retrying. It'll be great, don't worry.
We also did an exercise in which John and Johnna navigate the living room together in silence. This was beautiful. It was useful. It was interesting. They worked extremely well together; they were pointing to non-existent objects that were in the living room and giving them life, they were responding to each other, and they were utilizing the space. The best part was that it was real. It was true. It was interesting. It was even funny at times. Just in the beauty of the realism, John and Johnna worked to make the scene alive and genuinely entertaining regardless of the activity's simplicity. I think the key was not trying to act, but rather to just be and live in the moment. It was also fun as they finished the activity with smiles: always a good way to end a rehearsal.
