All - Sorry you aren't getting these until now... Make sure you also read all the way to the bottom.
Abbie- in Simple Joys... seemed like you were off with the music, dragging tempo some.
Larry and Abbie - Thank you for adjusting your blocking. It looks much better. Just keep getting comfortable with each other and really Listen to each other... more discoveries in that opening scene.
Abbie - Slow down the line "Don't stare it's rude" I couldn't quite understand it... and lock eyes with him while you say it.
Larry - Same moment "Don't stare it's rude" Lock eyes for a brief moment and then embarrassingly turn away like you have been.
Larry - Be careful moving too far Stg. Left of the bench... that weird oval light looks like you have more room but your face will actually be out of the light before your feet are. I've tried to get that light changed out and unfortunately it's not to going to happen. The oval light is on only when the lights are lower and its just the little "love area" that's lit.
Larry - I think you two have extra music under your dialogue in the middle of "Camelot" so take that time to get all the way off the ramp... cut the jump off.
Abbie and Larry - I had "Good Moment" not sure which one...but the love is really coming along.
Larry - during the sword in the stone speech... this is being real picky but I was thinking that "and lo it moved in my hand" happened about when the underscoring first played the "camelot" theme. when the music becomes jubilant and more excited... this is kind of hard to explain via email. And you're looking at the floor a bit too much during this speech, and volume. :)
Kids in Corination: you have props to present to the queen... ask felisha... start using them please.
Courtney - You sound lovely I WILL have a mic for you on Sunday...
Abbie - in thinking up the round table scene... on you say "I think it is!" he has just taken a step back. grab his arm and pull him one step forward.
Abbie- the second moment of you behind his chair is awkward and I can't hear you cuz you are talking down too much. Do something to him that pulls you more upright...
Abbie - the last touch where you pull him out of his chair... it's not working to go between his chair and the table so go around the other side or something...
Hailey - Perfect entrance in first scene... Everything is great but you can be excited about the proclamation! :) smile. And Be Louder
Andy - For Cest Moi play with having the shield and a sword... You can put them down at some point. but I think you would have them if you were just galavanting across the land. You should have a belt to sheath the sword into your costume.
Andy - "For all that I am" - Couldn't hear you. much better on line memorization...keep working.
All - Keep working on the timing of those arms up and down as the kids run though, etc during "Lusty" looks messy... but the big circle looked Much better so thank you for remembering those spread out positions.
Tristan - Voice is getting much easier to understand...sometimes you just get to talking a little to quickly...
Abbie - "You're in Camelot" Don't forget to invite everyone to be seated again on the blankets.
Larry - Acknowledge the ensemble bowing when you enter Lusty. Take a tiny pause so that they can relax again onto the blankets.
Abbie and Larry - your crowns are on the prop tables... try to work with how to keep them on your head :)
Abbie - When you come in to "pick on Lance"... you have to come ALL the way into the room... there will be a curtain on the front of that entrance to the Kings room.
Abbie - "And yours will graciously obey" walk towards door... turn back to him to check if he is going to command you...(yeah, that's what I thought - internal monologue) then exit.
Larry - How to Handle sounds GREAT. bump the volume up a notch when you were singing very soft like on "love her...love her..." I really couldn't hear it. but its really very sweet.
Courtney - Much Louder in scene with Drew and Andy... before joust
Drew - More time being "dead"
Tristan - I need you off of the hill during the dramatic part of Joust, "dead drew part" Not sure if you can come down the stairs behind Guenevere? and be on the floor?
Abbie - Beautiful "Before I Gaze at you" I could use a little more of a break down right before... you seem to have plenty of intro music.
Andy - Your line "sorry I didn't mean to disturb you" is the cue for the lights to come up. So don't wait for the lights.
Abbie - Don't move upstage to Arthur's chair... isn't working. so just stay on the same plane with Lance.
Larry - YES that monologue is Lovely. And when you bring that sword up it looks awesome. Keep the sword being your trigger for "I am a king blah blah" and no longer need to sit in the throne so cut that. And yes, I agree the underscoring was silly...hopefully what John has made will button the scene perfectly to take us to intermission.
Mary - LOUDER you are adorable but the audience wants to hear what you are saying. You can simply hand Guen her cape don't need to put it on her. And just know you will be wearing a cape yourself when you enter that scene... Linda will have that for you.
Andy and Abbie- Thank you... I'm feeling the "love" during "If Ever" but one of you would start transitioning from one pose/position to another and it would be awkward and then when you settled into a new pose it was good again... ask me if this doesn't make sense.
Drew - don't hug too close to the corner of the tower when you are in the king's room because there isn't any light over there.
Abbie - I had "good step forward with Arthur" idk but yay! And your monologue in the bedroom was much better. ty
Courtney - Much Louder in your forest scene... and stop laughing... if you don't buy it the audience is certainly not going to.
Ensemble - Where are you looking during Guenevere? Your focus is all over the place. Pick a spot to look at above the audience and keep looking there.
Hailey - Stand completely still and look at your spot over the audience when Courtney is singing her solo. You have to stay in character at all times.
Andy and Abbie - I need you to sing like crazy back behind the kings room during Guenevere.
Ensemble - Better Volume tonight on Guenevere... keep working though... I'll always need more volume!
Larry - Good hug...very believable with Guen at the end... now can you initiate it?
Garrett - Smile more... you've run away and now your on this new adventure! Don't look at me or anyone out in the audience. I want to Cut you going around and jumping on the bench...don't need it. Then when you exit...hug the side of the audience and sneak around behind the audience to get backstage.
Ensemble/ALL - 1. Backstage should be completely set up for you today... so start moving your stuff in...makeup, under clothes, hair stuff... but you have to keep your stuff organized...either keep it in a bag and store it somewhere out of the way or put it in the lockers... something so that things don't get lost or thrown away.
2. Clean up after yourself each night. Throw away bottles of water, hang up costumes, put away props, etc. If food or water is left lying around it will get thrown away. If you want to bring a waterbottle to keep there...put it in a locker.
3. No eating food or drinks when you are in costume, except water, in a closed container. No open containers of food or drink should be left out as they can get spilled.
4. No tours. Cast and Crew of Camelot are the ONLY ones to be backstage. before, during and after the shows for the remainder of this process. Also, no audience members are allowed on the set. Someone will hopefully be monitoring this but don't think that you can take your grandpa up in the tower and take a picture...For example :)
5. If you aren't blocked to be in certain areas of the set...you shouldn't be there ever. For example, if you don't act in the bedroom set you shouldn't ever be up there. Same thing with the tower and forest, etc. This is for your safety and I apologize if I didn't make that clear before but I'm saying it now.
That's all I can think of for now...
I felt kind of bad after the last rehearsal because I was trying to release you right at 10:00 and I only focused on the note about being quiet backstage. Which IS SO SO important. However, I didn't give enough credit... the run through was quite pleasant and all of you are making progress. So please keep up your hard work and we'll have a great show.
We will start at 6:00 tonight and run through the show in costume. I'm sure we will get started late as everyone will have to change so we will go until 10:00.
Thanks
Kayla
