Houston's Take on Days 1 and 2

Sorry for not being on here yesterday.
It sounds like things are getting done.
Here is a proposal for getting things done in the hallway...
1) We will now try to have the gallery open, which is a more conducive space for going over things with actors.
2) Do a characterization exercise with whoever you have. Or team up and lead one with all the extras in the hallway covering all the characters they play in all the shows. It makes a huge difference for some of the background characters to know their name, where they come from, etc. I have sheets if you need them.
3) Do line thrus or run thrus with other actors standing in for your missing actors. Take care of each others' shows, too, so if there are five directors in the hall, run those five shows.

Time is of the essence. Seriously. You shouldn't be cutting out or leaving because you only have one actor in the hallway. Work with that one person, help other directors, pull costumes, make a props list, etc.

Modeling is important. If you choose to leave, your actors will, too. Stay through the rehearsals.

Mr. Moore keeps repeating the idea of being prepared. This means having what you are going to do with your actors on paper or in your head.

Mr. Harding needs things from you. Mr. Moore has more specifics on that...lighting needs, projection needs, sound, and props.

Colleen - I can help you tomorrow during 8th or 6th. Mike, you too (if you still need me to look at your minion lines).

Have fun on Day 2.
