So far, the three person scene seems like a success. Mindy, John, and I are well suited to play our characters and do so smoothly. We are comfortable with our lines and have good chemistry when playing off of each other. The lines were memorized fast so I think once we put the stage blocking in, our physical acting will be mastered quickly as well.
Our strengths include line memorization and good emphasis/ emotion. The emotions of the way the characters feel during the scene is apparent in that the lines are well rehearsed and we know how to say the lines well. I think we all understand our characters so it is easy for us to portray them. We each have an idea of what our character should sound like.
Our weaknesses are mainly blocking and choreography. We have not practiced performing in the full mindset of our characters as well as the physical gestures that go along with. It was definitely hard timing the scene and staging who and where. I think this can be cleaned up with more practice in the black box.
We can make it better by practicing and being fully engaged when performing. It is important to stay focused on the task at hand for the best result. I need to working on better emphasis for more comedic value, as well as timing the responses appropriately. I think my partners need to work on the same thing, and know when to use certain emotion and when. Overall, I think it is going really well.
