The Queen's Women: work in progress

For a while this semester, Shakespeare Scenes Night (Nov. 20th) seemed far enough away. But as we near the end of October, it is definitely time to "get our act together", no pun intended. Anyway, I feel that the workshop with the theatre majors (Rebecca helped our group) was beneficial and she gave us a lot of good blocking pointers: never stand in complete profile to the audience, over-the-top expression is easier to work with than monotone, things like that. She also gave us good ideas about when to walk over to whom depending on how close the relationship is between the characters. While we feel confident now about blocking (of course we still need to perfect it), now we need to focus on memorizing lines. Once we have a couple intense rehearsals, we should be good to go.
