March 30/31st Rehearsal

Hello to everyone!
This week, TWELFTH NIGHT is undergoing an "extreme makeover" with blocking as our actors play with new ideas, and subtext. Indeed, our actors were so creative that at one point when rehearsing the scene where Malvolio first finds Maria's letter, our clowns, Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, and Fabian rehearsed their blocking in slow motion with their lines! Ladies and gentlemen, Look out for TWELFTH NIGHT: In Slow Motion. (Okay, maybe not but it could be amusing.)Speaking of amusing, over Spring Break I was digging through a junk drawer in my old room and found something fun and fitting for our play's shipwrecked/pirate inspiration!...
I started growing him, my very own pirate, today! I intend to keep you all posted on the status of Peg Leg Steve.
I digress-
Today we had a makeup workshop for the actors as designer Sarah showed some tips and techniques to the cast, as well as how to apply their own makeup, testing out how everyone will look.


After makeup call, we wrapped up with some lovely music composed by Ian who is collaborating with actors Corey Kosel, Lindsey Hertel, Andrew Robinson, Taylor Whitmire, and Lucinda Rico to create an original soundtrack to the play. The music rehearsal was a time to polish and practice everything that has been composed thus far.
