General:
Kat went through intimacy vocabulary – powder, paint, and clay with Cam. Then, Cam and Jon told each other their no-fly zones. She had Cam place Jon’s hand on her face and leg (so that she has control over where he is touching her). They ran through the scene once with just eye contact in place of the kiss, and then they ran the scene with the kiss a few times- working on tempo, positions, and intentions.
Kat went through the intimacy vocabulary and no-fly zones with Sydney. Sydney placed Jon’s hand on her face to show him where she is okay with being touched. They then ran through only the intimacy part of the scene (once with eye contact in place of the kiss, and then a few times with kissing). After the actors felt comfortable with the intimacy, they ran through the entire scene.
We did work on scenes 1 and 18 (Andrea practiced slitting her throat with the kitchen knife as well as removing her shirt). Kat explain to Andrea how she should position herself (when she slits her throat, after she has died) and when the blackouts during the scene occur.
Kat went through the intimacy vocab and no-fly zones with Jillian. Jillian placed Jon’s hand on her face to show him where she is okay with him touching her. Then, they ran only the intimacy parts of the scene once without the kiss and then multiple times with the kiss (until the actors felt comfortable). Then, they ran the full scene. When we got to scene 19, Kat changed the slap written in the stage directions to a hit on the chest.
Sound:
We experimented with James Taylor playing as background music underneath scene 17.
Set:
We used the kitchen table and kitchen counter today for scene 1.
We also used Wallace’s side table, desk and chair for his dorm room
Props:
Andrea practiced using the kitchen knife to slit her throat today
We also used notebooks and records for people to play with in Wallace’s bedroom
The empty picture frame was used for multiple scenes today as well
Costumes:
We sent out an email reminding the cast to send in photos of clothes that they own which they might be able to wear as their characters. In that email we also asked for them to send in their general sizes (so that we can find clothing for the pieces they don’t own).
