12/21

We got the performance on Tuesday.  That was the first time running through with monologue and the other techs, and the experience was neither really good nor totally horrible.  There are still a lot of things that should be improved, but I am pretty happy about the scene 2.  Scene 2 asks the actors to act in a parallel mode, which means David will say his line while I am saying my words.  Each one is busy expressing his/her idea.  It shows a strong conflict.  However, it might cause chaos on the stage. The lines might be too massive to be heard, but I think we did good jobs.  David and I should speak the lines earlier so that mom David could catch the line and come back to the stage on time. 

For the weaknesses, I think I should watch out my right arm first.  I tried to not move my right arm because Caroline's one arm is a fake one in the story, so the fake arm should not be as strong as the other arm.  I found out I moved my right arm, so I should be more careful about it. The second is that I should practice my lines more.  I messed up the ending monologue, and once the lines are not proficient, the emotion cannot be shown well.  The last thing is that one time I turned my back to the audience.  I should pay more attention to that movement.  I might design a specific blocking there.
