Hi Everybody,
Well I didn't take much in the way of notes today (on account that I assume you're all expert sword fighters after all)...Today we can all agree went extremely well (sword technique, being off book and all.) So great work! Remember, there is the possibility of a lunch sunday prior to rehearsal...I'm sure you can't wait for that!
rehearsal April 10
• Like Kevin said, this is really coming along…now we just need to make it realistic
• Taking big steps help!
• The key is to sell the action!
• Bring up the noise! (Kevin—“Wouldn’t it be strange to kill her in silence?”)
• Go fully through with death (Harry, don’t plant, plant and cut!)
• Pg. 63: pull w/ your words (Quyen & Jen)…and drag it out until you can no further…it’s a team effort (together on a sole breath, almost in pure exhaustion, a running out of air cohesion and out of this came something)
• Pg. 64 Emma help with Jen to pull Quyen out of the apparition
• Pg. 64 all witches breathe together
• Pg. 84 Quyen, Emma & Jen—observe and play with Lady Macbeth (as Jen touches her Lady Macbeth bears an orgasm, with Quyen an antithesis with insanity, torment)…Lady Macbeth you become dependent on your drug, the witches' actions
See you on Sunday,
Kathryn

Hi Everybody,
Sorry I didn't get to send out the rehearsal notes on Wednesday. We did some fight choreography, and worked on scenes.I have the fight written down between Macbeth and Macduff, so let me know if anyone needs that. For Act I, Scene V, the witches mirrored Lady Macbeth's actions. This wasn't mentioned at the rehearsal, but the witches should actually be mouthing Lady Macbeth's words. Would everyone mind taking a look at the speech, just to be familiar with it?
Then I had to leave for a while, and when I got back we worked on Act 3 Scene 3. Emma will be portraying Fleance. Mat and Jen made a sphere with there arms that we might put in the blocking when Emma gets back. Quyen will hold Harry back in that scene. Finally, we worked with Act 5 Scene 5, with Nick and Mat's aggressive dynamic.
On Thursday, M&M were called (yes, I am still using that notation) to work on their scenes together. They did a great job, and got to practice a little in the space.
Friday we will be doing fight choreography again, and everyone should be off book. Kathryn, if you could come pick up the swords from my room, that would be great. Text me whenever you're available. Rehearsal will be from 6 to 10 in List 110.
Thanks,
Carolyn

I was looking through ARRR!!!'s dirty show song lyrics and realised that the name that we created for Lady Macbeth is shared by a character in one of the songs. And I thought I might share after all the abuse the Lady's been getting. The tone of the song is similar to some of that abuse, I find...
The captain's wife was Charlotte,
Born and bred a harlot,
Her thighs at night were lily white,
By morning they were scarlet.
ya...the only connection to Macbeth that had was the name which doesn't even exist in the script. But I thought I might share since it gives us a taste of the dirty show...which we won't be able to see, because it's Wednesday at 10:00 and 10:45, which makes me sad.
