Call Began: 8:00
Ended: 10:00
General:
Jon had common hour until 8:30, so Kat worked on scenes and blocking with Molly alone. They went through scene 3, establishing more specific blocking and bits for Molly’s character.
When Jon joined, we did blocking for scenes 3, 8 and 20. Molly (grandma was off book, but still calling for line for all of her scenes.) The blocking was more specific this time than the last time we ran these scenes.
Kat began by talking through intimacy with Jon and Abby- telling them about intimacy vocabulary (powder, paint, clay), asking them what’s the intention behind the kiss in their scene, and having them to tell each other their no-fly zones. She told them that we would start towards the middle of the scene, running through the intimacy part slowly (letting them know that they could say STOP if they ever felt uncomfortable). They practiced the scene 2 times without the kiss (once with a high five and once with just eye contact in place of the kiss) before running the scene with the real kiss.
After the line “oh come on”, Jon will use his upstage right hand to touch Abby’s shoulder, and then kiss her – she will just sit still. Abby will lean out from Jon to end the kiss. This kiss should have a paint quality- there’s a sense of urgency underneath the scene, but this urgency is not shown through speed because Wallace is still trying to be smooth and suave.
After the intimacy work, we went back to run all of scene 10, working on blocking. We finalized the overall blocking for the whole scene. After they ran it once, Kat gave some notes, and then we moved on to scene 12
Set:
When we ran scene 12 (with Wallace and Sarah), we practiced with using the door for the first time
