A Change Upon You?
Tonight was the last night of rehearsal before we performed our scenes. I had missed some classes to due noon show rehearsals so I was a little behind and rusty when it came to my scene. But we pulled through in the end.
We just sort of rehearsed together with our partners for a while, straightening things out and working on lines. Graham really likes to rehearse and make sure that everything is perfect. While I am a self professed perfectionist, I didn’t think we needed to keep going and going and going.
People volunteered to show their work to the class and receive feedback from everyone. Graham and I went first. No, I have to get this off my chest, because if I don’t, it’s going to frustrate me to no end. I HATE SHOWING THE CLASS MY SCENE BEFORE THE PERFORMANCE DATE. It’s like serving undercooked meat at a restaurant or burying someone who is still alive. It’s not ready yet. While I understand that the point of this is to get suggestions and feedback, I just feel like we can work it out for ourselves, it’s our scene. Plus it takes all the suspense and surprise out of show night. That being said, we showed the class our scene.
It went well, certain things and lines, of course, got a little jumbled, but it still worked. We received feedback from the faces of shocked onlookers on how to make the scene stronger. While I am sure these will be taken into consideration when we perform, I can’t say that we will change just because someone tells us to.
