Notes from 10/27

It is becoming a lovely show!! Congrats all:) Keep committing and keep working. We have a long way to go but it is improving! 


All: find smoother/rounder dance poses in Prologue

All: bigger, more dynamic lean into watching Antigone/Haemon proposal

Nurse & Antigone keep some distance from each other once feet part is over

Gwyneth---hell's yes!! that was a fabulous Nurse tonight

Nurse-go even further and more contrast with the Jocasta voice and body work

Antigone page 20-keep distance from nurse during her story so we can see both of you

Lucy-can you kneel behind Nurse when join group rather than right next to her?

EVERYONE: Keep off angle of each other

Ismene: MORE VOLUME!! More power in your voice. Especially more volume page 24 speech

Ismene/Antigone--great sister relationship tonight, very lovely to watch the natural flow

Ismene/Antigone--both look out to exit #2 on line about Polynieces being well guarded on page 26 to help establish the location of the body

**Antigone--when you exit through #2---this is where you put dirt on hands for next entrance with guards

Page 26-Nurse and Antigone--go over this movement with me prior to rehearsal

Antigone/Haemon/Ismene/Creon-use your arms out to the sides to help enhance mask and costume rather that directly in front of you

Antigone--we need more back mask during Haemon scene--find that moment to give back mask and then Haemon connects with back mask

Haemon--posture!!!

Haemon's chorus--reach your arm out to exit #2 in back mask when Haemon exits on page 32

Antigone--come from BURYING him--must make that word clear. It is the first time we hear you say it--vital plot point

Ismene truly fall into your chorus-Ismene's chorus catch her on page 33 exit, grab for her and comfort her

Guards---awesome!! Like that every night! NOW GET OFF BOOK:)

Creon--watch your posture and shoulders

Creon--good instinct on shovel but please let people know you're throwing and make sure Props Crew is ok with you throwing it

Mattie--arms out to side in kneel pleading with Creon page 36

Chorus--BIGGER VOICES and purpose on interlude page 37-38

Haemon-learn page 37-38 movement

A's chorus: more drive in that final line on page 38Antigone is going to be able to be herself. Haunt us with that line

Guards: be careful with Antigone-precise and planned---PLEASE run that blocking

Creon and Guards: Keep space open never directly in line with Creon but scattered around him

Antigone play puzzled in first interaction with Creon page 43, don't know what he plans yet

Creon page 45 up and over the Chorus in terms of volume and power

CREON--Always more volume

Creon's chorus--figure out when turning back mask, what direction and how to do it together on page 51

Eurydice--use your hands when you stand on page 46, arms out

ALL: Sounds that worked: light scratching, breaths, moans, tones, heart beats!

Thanks!
