tuesday's post

today we started rehearsals again.and i dont want to say "real rehearsals" but today it felt like we were just doing alot more.which is good.as a stage manager, katelyn and i found props like tables and chairs for the second scene along with bags of money, cups for the actors, and wallets. it was fun doing work like that because it made us have to get creative and think how can we use this to make something else? like for the bag of money we were trying to find something to be money,we thought of silverware or jewlery from the costume loft, but i found those marble things in urine town and they worked well.we also thought of ways to get an old school bag of money,more cartoonish than like a wallet or actual purse filled with money,and we used a square of fabric and a hair tie to make the bag.then i tried to figure out the camera,but i needed alot of help,hopefully next time i can do it with little to no help.

today watching the scene was really funny, i really enjoyed watching john and emily work together and i really like scarlett's little stunt thing, i thought it was an interesting touch,rather that scarlett just standing and getting yelled at.i was kind of watching everyone beat up fernando,and i'm loving the physicality of the play.i know we've been saying how physical its gonna get,but watching a scene with it is way different.and its just going to look so cool,and im getting extremely excited.

today i brought blacks for class and did my warm-ups (which i'm getting way better at,they're starting to hurt less) i set up the camera and tri-pod as best as i could alone,and learned how to actually use it to film today. i helped find props with katelyn and moved some tables and chairs around with her and peter too.some random odd jobs i did too: un-screwed legs from a mini platform,went to cleo for the tripod base,and made sure everyone was either getting ready for rehearsals on time or getting out of the theatre at the end of class.
