Beautiful visual and
detailed set dressing;
watch upper pitches
although nicely excited;
excellent depth of scenery
pieces;
Cast: very committed and
lots of careful aliveness on stage; Cast needs to watch enunciation
particularly when turning 1/4 and 1/2 to speak to fellow actors; You need to
concentrate on fewer higher pitches more in very emotional moments--working
on building pitch levels and allowing a mid-range pitch and lower pitches to
surprise more often than using volume and upper pitches. Great company and
excellent directing; allow more whole-body stylization with differing sways
and stronger arms when whole body is peaking emotionally.

Town
|
Allow all parts of body to
move at a differing rhythm in opening;
Group speaking needs a
little more crispness;
Company: watch muscularity
of arm extensions: build on that- need variation and weirdness
Avoid semicircle company
stage left during Ramzi scene- you did break it however, good adjustment Window:
how to evolve with window: more ritualistic perhaps, perhaps more stylize
like arms and angled or held up higher those who are able to hold;
Door was a little awkward
on entrance, let it express the emotional undertones;
I tend to watch company
rather than table work with Moises, watch isolation of face motions; Lights
on crowd: same as stage left scene with Priest and Moises was distractive;
During healing scene, we need to move town – suggestions? Especially those left stage.
Awkward cross fade from
Luis and Monica and crowd -work on transition there
Excellent costuming and
prop usage with Townspeople; Black head covering company member: nicely
articulated and blue headband: ends of phrases were very certain; This was
Kate. Everyone needs to end sentences
as loudly as you begin them.
Company as you sway, be sure you move differently
than left hip to right hip a little too often;
Timing on Shock: first one
was off;
|
|
Music
|
Sound level is pretty loud
for clear projection of voices particularly because of the dialect Music:
stunning just too loud when text is spoken, in my opinion
|
|
Moises
|
Moises: crashing
radio had nice muscularity and follow through;
Moises: nice connection
with Priest when he enters your home;
Moises: good taking toward
Priest;
Boy was healed: Moses: the
hand motion upward needs more of a question than answer to what you see; Moises:
going down emotionally from stomach that pulls you to ground k ending up on
knees; scene change was flat which was good emotionally but nothing to focus
on when Moises crosses up to get bucket; Moises: watch your spine pull
up more naturally;
Every child is healed: more ritualistic getting up on table,
and more realistic on full body turn

Belen
|
;; Belen: more lower
pitches when excited so as to avoid strain, good rate variation;
; Belen: slight shifting
weight from side to side- don’t sway
Nice illusion of Belen's in
blue costume;
|
|
Monica
|
Monica: nice clear words
stage right in scene;
Monica: good look of
pregnancy;
|
|
Luis
|
Luis: nicely played reason
to enter; nice rise and fall with washer; Luis: watch ends of phrases
somewhat Luis: good safety but good muscularity with Monica; Luis: we had to:
decision to tell her this: needs more depth;
|
|
Eugenio
|
Priest: excellent
physicality but needs somewhat crisper enunciation
Priest: stumbling: not
believable;
Priest: better facial
aliveness with Moises after Luis;
Priest: watch facial
illusion and use breathing and neck movements also to show reaction more;
|
|
Moises & Belen
|
Belen and Moises: nicely
blocked and turned out;

I don't know about you guys but I know that these last couple of rehearsals and shows have not been my best. We are getting to the point in the season where things are starting to get stale and it is harder to connect to the show. This is something I am going to have to push through for the rest of the cast and crew. I hope that we can continue on to the next competition because I don't want this to be the last time that I perform with you guys. I love you all.
