We have reached the end of Act 1 with the final, frenetic scene of the first half of the show being the focus for this week. Student Assistant Director Zoe Paluszak took the reigns for this particular scene and enjoyed the opportunity to block the scene and work with the cast regarding their artistic and characterisation choices. This week was particularly energetic with lots of enthusiasm being shown from all and rehearsal having a particularly positive vibe.
Maria Bravo Echevarria and Michelle Karuga were on hand and ran individual cast interviews in order to get a sense of exactly what they wanted for their character's costume, allowing them to develop a sense of ownership around the costume and character.
Next week, we begin Act 2. The unique part of the second half of the show is that it is technically one large scene with no transitions and no breaks. This will be a great challenge for the students as they look to maintain high energy all the way through to the end of the show.
