MAN, this week!

This past week, we have been spending from 5-8 hours a day with the second draft of the script, and, man, has it been insane! We've gotten to play with some set and costume pieces along with making our puppet kids! Which has been really helpful. (Quick shout out to Sonora, thanks so much for helping us lady, you're awesome!) On Wednesday, one of Matt's friends, Estella, came to help us with physicality by teaching us Laban's 8 principles. That was an absolute work out. I swear, if every actor did this every day, they would never have to go to the gym again! But, she was awesome, I'm really glad we were able to work with her. Thanks Estella! Not only have we been discovering with set, but also sound. We've been listening to a lot of tool by the Vitamin String Quartet as inspiration and to set the mood, for I think it is the most appropriate for this story. Yesterday, Matt got me to a really good place with one of my monologues. It calls for a disgust with ones self and horror in a confession, and Matt really helped me achieve and bring that to the monologue, it was really encouraging and I was super stoked that it happened. As hard and long as we have been going with these workshops, I'm going to be a little sad when next week rolls around and we're doing other things besides this. We were suppose to end early yesterday, but we went an hour over because we were so distracted and engaged in what we were doing, it was awesome. Tomorrow is our workshop performance, so if you're not busy at noon, come see it in the ULV Cab! I've always really liked this song, but just recently realized how much it reminds me of Medea and Jason til this past week haha, hope you enjoy.
