Bi District Notes MUST COMMENT & INFO ON AREA

Clean up accents.  Make them consistent. Briggs boy needs to be louder. Continue to create strong characters with your bodies that can RIVAL JC Smuts – he had the best physicality. Sing in British accents More fog throughout show. Losing some lines when yelling. Play the opposite.

Singing at beginning – Frank and Judith must establish loving relationship. Tech  and set – loved it. Briggs family – great – Alister needs to be stronger Ironing board – Frank walks in singing and they dance  - but he sings first

Inconsistent  accents – Reese, Evan, Ramzi Needs work on Australian dialect In dead scene, each actor needs to TOP the former speakers’ line. He didn’t like Tipperary – so long, but Geistman and Davis did Presentational? You are not taking away my children. Frank, talk to Judith not audience – your monologue with her. In Gently family, why do people turn away? Daughter go to Mom after Frank Hurry home- and all lines shouted at distance. Smuts – british dialect React more like a girl to body – Mira Bela – plead to Judith Foreman must be out at factory scene. Evan and Reese – work on Aussie dialect Haris – why do you decide to get up?  Why do you decide to walk away? See decisions. Be HESITANT to open yourself to Viv. NOISE ON STAGE LEFT Tom – build to I hate my dad. Girl (Payton) cannot see you from audience – Judge’s perspective. Sound too loud in dead scene Change Briggs – Mom turn to Bill, hold him and sob. Hide bat,  Go to Alister and break down.  Drop bat in rubble. Factory girls – good reaction to Judith, but react more to Joan as well. I hate my country. Joan after shooting be physically affected by shooting the German.  You are too relaxed. At end tips of fingers stay for a beat J and Frank EVERYONE – say each others names at least three times.  Each character.  Presentational vs. Realistic. All relationships need to be as clear as the Gentlys – Briggs, Justice, women to women, men to women, men to men (Jon and Ramzi) in factory.

Clamps Canvas wraps- people carry them in.  People carry individual clamps in bags. This is getting crazier(in a good way- lots of changes),  and we are having a modified rehearsal schedule this week. ·         Monday night – we will rehearse from 8-10 – parents have a dual credit meeting at 6 in the auditorium. ·         Wednesday night – we will rehearse from 8-10 – after everyone’s church services, I hope. Thursday our official rehearsal is at 8:30 AM. We will leave Shallowater at 6:30.  PLEASE ensure that our kids go to bed after rehearsals.  With such a long day, and little sleep, I don’t want the show to be like a slow motion movie without energy.  We have a great chance of advancing to the next level.
