Today Michael and I performed our scene for the Glass Menagerie. I think we did pretty well! It seemed as though we really built off of each other's emotions. The falling into the table (done by Michael) looked very natural. Although, these things, and more, did take a couple of tries.
I think practicing a bit more before our final could have benefited us. Of course sometimes we can't get to class, even going the next step meaning we meet after school to go over it a couple times would’ve helped. The reason I say this is because we had to practice a couple times before we got our final scene filmed because we kept messing up. For example:
I kept mumbling - no one can hear you if you mumble, especially when performing on stage.
Michael couldn't fall- well it wasn't fall, more like couldn't NATURALLY fall into the table. It looked too fake ya know?
Our dancing! - we were really trying, but…. it just didn't look right. I mean for starters we wouldn't hold hands! We got the hang of it though. We decided (Michaels’ great idea) to spin in a circle. Then (my idea) I would twirl and he would get all excited and bump into the table. Crash! Goes the glass unicorn.
Michael and I finally got our final performance filmed and were pretty happy with it. I mean, we skipped like 4 lines in the end but it’s not noticeable. I'm glad I got to work with him because it pushed me out of my comfort zone and was very fun hanging out with him!
Overall, this was a great experience! This class is helping me so much with going outside my comfort zone. I’m so happy I decided to take this class. :)
See ya next blog!!
