Performance log 10/9

#1.) Today, I gave a lot of advice to two of the groups today. I thought they all did well but struggled with a few things. For example, actions, movement and pronunciation is a struggle. Me and my partner also struggle with action and  movement so we are trying to work on it. But it was very difficult. Me and my partner really had to find a way to push past all the awkwardness and really focus on who Romeo and Juliet were as characters rather than who we are as people. To me, the hardest part was the fact that she was a girl an we had a very intimate scene. But we both found a way to make it work so I am hoping its good enough.

#2.) So today was a bit better. We both are learning some of the lines so we don't have to continue to look at our scripts. For me, my main struggle was not laughing. Today we preformed our scenes and it was fun! but also very awkward. I was a but embarrassed by how much I kept laughing. I am naturally a very bubbly person but this scene is suppose to be intimate, passionate and meaningful. I feel as if I have to be "two faced." To me, "two faced" means acting like someone else based on the crowed you're with. Having to play Juliet who, at the time, was a very serious character was something I had to learn to become. I got some awesome feedback today from my peers. For example, really make the audience feel my desperation. This was the last time I may have been able to see Romeo. Another thing, slowing down my lines. I tend to get nervous and rush through things when I want to just get it over with.

#3.) I finally have my lines down pretty well! But, I am still struggling with pronunciation and slowing down when I speak my lines. For my performance I am planning on wearing a skirt with color because even though it is a very serious scene, Romeo and Juliet continue to show the smallest bit of hope that they will be able to meet again soon and I think that is very important. I think this because everything around them seems to be going wrong yet, they continue to pursue each other. In reality, they ate still immature and sick for love. Romeo will be wearing a button up shirt and a jacket if possible. Just to show that he has matured a but over time, but we want people to see the wrinkles in his jacket. Its to show that he doesn't actually have his life together and is struggling.

#4.) So, today I preformed my scenes. Sadly I had to do it with my script, but it was so much fun! I was more confident in myself, I talked more slowly with my words and really tried to show the desperation I had for Romeo. Chantell did an amazing job as always. Not going to lie, It was hard for me to not laugh when
