With only one rehearsal remaining until the performance, the heat is turning up! Carlos, Tom and Nina worked individually with cast members on text rehearsals, refining and clarifying ideas with each actor. Tom introduced new sound and light cues to which the actors had to immediately adjust. Steve implemented a fight call before each rehearsal, running through the movement at half the time it takes in the actual show. Chris served as fight assistant and ran the fight calls with humble expertise. Actors were asked to wear simple black clothing that will serve as costumes to every rehearsal this week.
The show continues to get tighter, but the team is pushing for more improvement. It is very possible at this stage of the work to continue to layer in more details. Tom encouraged the cast to begin to play within the form, to improvise, to have fun and participate whole-heartedly the way children do. With just a little over 40 hours until the opening, actors continue to work intensively in preparation to share their Romeo and Juliet with an audience.
Wow, it's crazy one more performance til opening/closing night. I've learned alot during the past... 5 weeks. I'm very excited that we will perform Friday, but sad, too, as I'll miss all the cool super awesome people here like my fellow cast members and the staff here. I hope we all break a leg. Maybe both for more luck if needed.
ReplyDeleteOMG Its Almost over!! Why?? I am honestly going to miss coming to Adler every morning at 11:30 am. I have learned SO much in this program and I will never forget any of it! I just want to thank EVERYONE for giving me this wonderful opportunity to learn and grow as an actress. My cast members are awesome and hilarious people that I will miss a lot!
