EVERYONE
|
Opening of play was slow
You are anticipating the freezes and especially
Tipperary
Everyone freeze in motion.
Freezes were sloppy at the end.
LISTEN TO EACH OTHER – IT’S BECOMING EVIDENT
Look around after first bomb scene – You have to
make it clear it is the first time this has happened.
KEEP watching the soldiers as they leave until
SHHH
GREAT COMMENT FROM MAKY – SAY EACH OTHERS’ NAMES –
THAT WILL MAKE THE LINES FRESH.
Rule Britannia was great today.
In the first freeze everyone was facing the same
way – ask Maky. I noticed Frank and
Judith
DICTION
DICTION DICTION
Everyone needs to be louder – the stage will be
bigger.

Judith
|
Tag on dress
Thanks for moving suitcase down. Do you want Alee and Kate to do it?
In Judith Joan scene – we believe – hit believe
You say front twice in the last monologue – hit both differently.
Lower pitch in doll scene.
|
Bela
|
Don’t anticipate Sheila singing.
|
Sound
|
Could not hear some of the gunfire at the beginning.
Louder on air raid sirens when no one is talking in the beginning.
Sound in dead person scene needs work – see Maky
|
War head and soldier puppet
|
Don’t move them too late. They
are the entrances to the scene. Head
listed to the left at the beginning.
|
Viv and Soldier 1
|
Viv, let us see the expression on your face as Sheila does the desert
fox line then shimmy – seems too
orchestrated. Aussie – have a funny face – oh gosh- react more.
Also, Aussie, a beat longer before you follow Viv. They laughed last night but would laugh
more if you milked it.
|
Soldier 2
|
Start and finish in accent
|
Judith and Frank
|
Freeze in motion
Frank, your diction is good, but Judith’s is REALLY good. Match hers.
Last shirt line was weird – no vocals. It just stopped.
|
Frank
|
Look out – don’t turn upstage to Judith. – I don’t know what
|
Military men
|
Work on win the war
|
Joan
|
What’s our wages? Slower diction
Amazing – don’t tell me to say good bye. I agree with Maky. You improve with each performance.
Good job raising flask – that’s right love
|
Aussie 1
Brian
|
Down under – hit the n’s and d.
Let your voice crack as Aussie 1
More Aussie than English
More heartbroken, not mad when speaking to your mom.
|
Sheila
|
Monologue more heartfelt. Think
about the words
Change the way you say – we haven’t killed anyone – many of your
lines are starting to sound the same.Maybe laugh – like she is ridiculous –
you haven’t made any bombs.
|
Aussie 2 & Angie
|
Watch your scene being too memorized.
|
Joan
|
Hope you remember how you did little woman. It was magnificent.
You changed the way you said many of your lines – wonderfully fresh.
|
Frakker
|
Cost us the war – hit t
DICTION make each word different.
|
Briggs family
|
Good on getting up quickly after the bomb.
Speak to Mrs. Kuehler about her view on the scenes.
|
Alister
|
COMMIT to UGGGH
LOUDER, but you were better with everything else.
|
Mrs. Gently -
|
Say Mrs. Gently in your lines about Alister when the men have gone.
Good noise falling
Don’t anticipate drum
|
Tom
|
Louder
Fall when the bomb hits.

we need to keep it FRESH! So do whatever you have to do! ( say other names, move differently, actively listen, etc.) and one big deal is DICTION! Since I lay down there and can’t see mouths, I rely on sound, and our diction while performing was not our best😬 other than that, great job guys!❤️
ReplyDeleteI thought it was great we did a fantastic job but there are a few simple matters we can fix

we need to make sure to start the show together and strong, especially w diction!! we need to be loud & make sure to discover the surroundings as if the first time... overall i think we’re ready, we just have to leave it all out on the stage!!
ReplyDeleteSo Saturday is inevitably our last time to preform this play, sad as that might me. This has got to be the most fresh, most enunciated, overall best performance yet. It’s the last time we will ever say these lines, so mean every word. I will work really hard at discovering new things each moment and not anticipating future lines or events. Break a leg everyone; we are going to great one last time!
ReplyDeleteI wasn’t here for this performance. However, from rehearsals, we are having trouble with making it feel new. And unanticipated. I know that we all are saying this but actually listen to the other persons line. If you’ve seen the office do you remember the episode with Dwight and the ladies and the ladies wanted to show Dwight how to listen?? They nod there heads and smile and actual listen. That’s what we need to do. Practice listening when someone talks. I know
ReplyDeleteIt sounds stupid but it is practice for the the play and I think it could help maybe
I will go back through the script and find news ways I can say some line! I want to do everything I can do we can WIN state!! We got this guys!
ReplyDeleteYay I’m sooo excited!!!! ❤️❤️ Make sure you say each other’s names! It makes it look more real and natural when you guys do it. I believe we are gonna do an amazing job at state!!!❤️ Let’s keep on working hard guys! We got this
ReplyDeleteReese and I will try to do our best at making sure the head is up and facing towards the family at the beginning of the scene.
ReplyDeletePlease please please go back through the script and make sure you are saying your lines correctly!! At state they will be more strict anou this than ever before! Make sure you are keeping your reactions as real as possible and don't be afraid to make some changes (with in reason) to your character on the spot!! Leave it all on the stage one last time!
ReplyDeleteI'm late on comments but I just wanted to say that I love ya'll so much. You guys showed me what it was like to have a home outside of home. I loved you guys, never once did I dread showing up to practice or did I wish for practice to be over. I may not be the best at acting, but I truly had a love for this craft. It is honestly something I will remember forever and for that I thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love this group! I have made so many memories, and a lot of friends. This one act play season has made a huge impact on my life, and I can’t wait for the years to come.
