“Being skill-less in these parts, which to a stranger, unguided and unfriended, often prove rough and unhospitable” \u00a0 – Antonio (Act 3, Scene 3, Lines 9-11)<\/p>\n
So full disclosure, I was not actually at this rehearsal due to a travel conflict.<\/p>\n
However, both of my amazing partners were able to be there and filled me in on what I missed.<\/p>\n
Since we were getting closer and closer to performance day or P-Day if you will, we knew we needed to start working on blocking with the troupe.<\/p>\n
However, since that can come off a little dull, the group also played a number of theater games to help make the day more entertaining.<\/p>\n
Apparently they were very popular and focused largely on helping our students work on adding emotion into their voices when they read their lines.<\/p>\n
So while perhaps not as much actual blocking was done as expected, it was clearly still a productive and enjoyable day for all those involved.<\/p>\n
However, at the time I should have been posting this blog, we were under the impression that we had one more rehearsal before Thanksgiving Break, then of course the last one before P-Day.<\/p>\n
Instead, Higher Achievement was hosting an early Thanksgiving party for their students and families, so we only have one more rehearsal before the final production.<\/p>\n
And honestly, I’m not even that worried about it.<\/p>\n
Have I suddenly reached a perfect state of zen that allows me to cycle through my worries in a rational and calm manner?<\/p>\n
Of course not.<\/p>\n
But we’ve reached the time of the year where I’m basically only 15% of a person.<\/p>\n
I’m kidding. Mostly. I am serious about not being too worried about the performance though.<\/p>\n
Despite their occasional large bursts of energy, we have a good group, and I think tomorrow will be more than enough to walk them through the basic blocking we need to make sure they can do onstage.<\/p>\n
I am slightly worried about how many students we will actually have show up though.<\/p>\n
Guess we’re just going to have to wait and see.<\/p>\n
Who knows, maybe my final blog post will be about me explaining how I played five different Shakespeare characters in one night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
