I still haven't gotten the Evans and Alexander to rehearsal! I am really starting to worry because we perform in two weeks and i still haven't managed to get my cast together in one room. I suppose its partly my fault, I haven't been very demanding that they come. I need to step up to the plate and start holding them to their commitment.
A week has gone by since our last practice because of February vacation. I was happy to see that they didn't TOTALLY forget everything we had been working on - in fact they did quite well. This week Andrea will not be able to make it, so I really focused on Brenton, Sebastian, Dylan and Dawn. The more I rehearse the happier I am, and the more I wish I could just scrap everyone else and use them! Their dedication means a lot.
Brenton was having trouble getting into character this week, so I went through a series of questions with him about Neil. Who he was, what his middle name was, how old he was, what he wanted in the scene, his favorite color/band/sport, etc. Just things to help Neil seem more real to him. I hope it helped.
We did more improv work this week as well. A lot of like, milling and seeding, and then improv games such as gibberish/english, freeze, and more. They are getting really good at thinking on their feet and making the scene what it is. I remember in the beginning of the process, they were reluctant to even participate. Now, however, they are really confident and just dive into the game. They have really grasp the idea that you don't act, just be. Or not to say no to your partner.
