Rehearsal @ Impact

Shrdlu

Don't Panic!!

Another rough night -- not tech (no tech guy tonight), and not dress, yet . . . but awful: missed cues, low energy.

Troubles:

1. Last night I was "off" compared to Sunday's run-through which was quite good. Ok -- no big deal.

2. But tonight, slow to pick up on cues (again) and this lead to Ron interjecting "pace, pace!" telling me to speed it up, then Zero, or me -- I don't know -- jumped a section, and it was all downhill after that. Now Ron wants to re-block a section of the scene, but I think this will be a mistake -- blocking is not the problem. Hummm -- the old observation applies: it's easier to stay out of trouble than it is to get out trouble.

Solutions:

1. Work my "beats" and cues -- see 2004.07.06 entry.

2. Perform as I rehearsed it -- tell Ron, if it comes up, that the scene's blocking is working -- if I pick up my cues.

. . . that's it.
