Notes from Tech Week (1)

the major issue we are facing right now with this piece is how to "activate" it. By activate I could also mean "energize" or "breathe life into". We have nice moments - naturalistic, honest - but we must now take a step back and consider the performance of these moments. Let's welcome the audience into this interaction instead of just letting them observe. Some other notes:

-projection - wayyyyyyy louder. work from your belly, not your throat.

- remember to lift Abigail out through your chest and chin - don't close her from the audience.

- actively sit, always be engaged with what is going on onstage.

- choose your pauses wisely.

- if a sound cue gets messed up, cover it. Stay in character.

Really great job, I look forward to seeing how this piece changes this week.
