Shrdlu, Rehearsal, The Adding Machine
Rehearsal was in Ron's appartment tonight.
As I've never really gone through a rehersal process (outside the two scenes I did with Johnny in Ted's private class), I'll try to break my observations up into rehearsal technique and character work (specific problems/triumps with Shrdlu)
Rehearsal Technique: General/Specific Insights/Principles
This early in rehearsal -- explore, don't perform (see Guskin, How To Stop Acting, p. 73-4).
Shrdlu
When I tell my story, see mother, Dr. Amaranth, the lamb, & include Zero in the scene.
I'm still taking-it-off-the-page, but I'm thinking too much after I exhale. Solution: train myself to breath in and out while taking in the line/phase/group of words (allowing it to hit me during this time), and then immediately say the line without thinking. I think my pauses come from losing contact with the text -- get into this rhythm of breathing, and I think that will help.
