i just had a fabulous rehearsal in my mind and i am very, very, very excited to have the next one.
we started off working with James and Philip's group. We played a game of enemy protector because we had such a large group and it would get everyone moving. Basically everyone picks one person to be their enemy and one person to be their protector and must always keep their protector between them and the enemy at all times. This game is fun and got everyone moving around to keep up the energy.
then as a group we played boppity boppity bop which is my favorite game EVER. (because of country) and it would take a long time to explain, but it helps with listening and quick reactions because as the caller I would point to a person and say elephant and the person and the people to the left and right would make the elephant.
then the other groups left and we started rehearsing and blocking the show. there was a little confusion at first and we had to stop and make sure everyone was writing things down to keep track. i feel as though i keep changing my mind and i feel bad changing things or adding more movements.. i just dont want the piece to be boring and unimaginative. towards the end we started running through larger chunks and eventually went through everything we have blocked so far and i am really happy with the outcome so far! obviously many things need work still, but we made a lot of progress today as a group. next rehearsal is thursday! off book!
Things to continue working on:
1) more blocking
2) ENUNCIATION
3) playing out to everyone
4) speaking to the audience clearly
