What did you do today?
We started the day of by going trough the feedback we had been given last Friday. We decided that we needed the rehearse the hitting(a.k.a. repeated) scene, and really think about what our blocking will be. The problem before was that me and Max were behind Jenny, when the most important part of that scene happens, Max hitting me. So, we first went ahead and tried out doing it so that when Sophie enters the stage, after Jenny and Max getting to their positions, and goes to Jenny across the stage. We first thought that Sophie might have staid there for the whole scene, but then realized that that way, the whole stage is unbalanced and Sophie getting to her mother character on the other side of the stage, would have been an awkward transition. So then we tried out Sophie first going to Jenny, but then getting to her old position on the stage left. Still, Sophie running around stage without better purpose seemed distracting, and so we changed it again. We finally agreed on a positioning, where Sophie and Jenny are on either side of the stage and mine and Max's actions are more centred, and so more visible to the audience. Once this was sorted, our group continued to run trough the play. Jenny also suggested that in the very first scene, the introduction, we should stand by these three lines going across the floor, to even out our distances from each other. This was a very good idea, since now we had certain spot to stand on. After all this was sorted we ran trough the play over and over.
