Lou and February 4

February 4, 2017

Lou

Everyone	Hit consonants, especially at the end of words. People noises in club and Brown bear Everyone – create your own characters. Never drop character In lantern scene, react. Move slowly – we are NOT freezing when you are not the focus in the scene. Cutting Eady/Maggie scene. Helena’s presence in the room changes – sounds, motive, focus, intention.  EVERYONE MOVE SLOWLY WHEN YOU ARE NOT THE FOCUS - DO NOT FREEZE.
Singing	During transitions singing together is okay, but songs like sailor song – one person starts it and others join in.  – maybe at the beginning too Girls hum during Jim and Harry’s scene.
GG   Brown Bear	Could not hear turkey gristle line.  Girls anticipated it and laughed before Maggie said it. Show taking meat off Annie – show it toward audience, pass it hand to hand In club – which path – should be funny and should react by laughing. We don’t have thunder yet, but react to it during lantern scene. We need to have you cleaner(face) after slaughter house. Pull chain at the end so that Ellen has to step over them. Study Annie as she enters.  Personalize each introduction . Keep heads up. Personalize your work. Could not hear lines in the pub. Girls, be more paralyzed with news from Ellen that jobs may be lost. More fear, confused, amazed by white caps and aprons.
Jim and Harry	Loved this scene – Jim don’t come in late.
Helena	Be concerned with the girls – especially your first entrance. Relish on the girls’ accomplishment – knickers – maid scene More urgent with Priscilla – we have no time to help these girls.
Lantern Scene	Girls be more excited.  Oooh   Aaah Be riveted by the magic – crawl to center.
Edwin and Maggie	Attempted rape – Maggie, back further with the knife – in the stance.
Change	Right stage – add another 4 X 4..  We need a desk???????
Taylor	Late lights. Can you fix them before the scene starts by anticipating?
Priscilla and Lady H	Great scene about girls being laid off and Arthur is mad.  So genuine
Jim	Take hat off when with Kate. Late coming in for your scene with Harry.
Len	Practice your pick up of Maggie
Maggie	Leave it Ellen – Lou made note of this. So did Freida, so let’s look at it.
Harry	Amazing – Lou said you were a SOB Hit Annie’s bottom Lou LOVED you today – bragged on how strong you are in this show – loved ‘that’s quite enough. Stronger on – unless you don’t want a job at all he called you a SOB again which in this show is a compliment.
Kate and Jim	Remember sitting.
Carly	Light on Arthur and Priscilla At end light on Kate
Jim Harry Len	When girls and Len exit pub, Harry, Jim and Len move big carcass- the one I made as well as other furniture.  Use the ladder
Edwin	Laugh at the women.
Nora	Great job playing a double role
Emily	Loved everything you did in your house.
Maggie	Great job seeing the difference having lunch outside.
During one liners	Light on Kate and Annie.  You both are standing directly in front of each other.  Change something.  Also, Annie with your line, have a tray of cups.
Annie	Diction in monologue Annie, when speaking to Ellen – embarrassed by maid’s costume, then almost hysterical when you say you can’t go on the streets.  Physical sensation of not wanting to be attacked.
Annie and Ellen	Somehow move Annie to the chair with Ellen on floor
Maggie and Ellen	Needs more silence here
Arthur Polly	Slap the maid.
Need	Small table or desk for Lady H.
Need transition	After rape scene Get rid of the hat.
