Notes from 11.30 tech run 17/4

Baggage

Blade – Need to be louder, esp. at start while music is on

B + Gwen – still needs you be more snappy, don’t worry about cutting each other’s lines off a little and often

Radley – Get some money out for B, B ‘I don’t want that dirty money’

Catia – No glasses

R – Read the paper until “hello mother”

B – While G+R are arguing, pay attention to mum, faf with her feet etc

G – “YOU left her with US”

B – End sandwich line much louder

When leaving the stage, need to be quieter

Dark Matter

Alex – Slow down your dialogue, there is a lot of meaningful dialogue in there that is being missed being it is too quick

Paige – Good with closing eyes, open them on “why am I lost”
‘So, you are a stalker’ is a comical line, play it more to audience
Pause before ‘don’t look at me like that’

Millennium

The bed should be made

Gwen – Not so laid back about Frost having taken drugs. Does it anger you? Upset you?

During Tom’s entrance, it was sloppy; people forgot line, and too slow overall.

Frost – Don’t forget to clap to turn on lights
Do not touch the stereo at all, it is an unused prop

Antonio – Diction needs work, try some tongue twisters
A – “double drop” line needs to be much louder

Shaun – Shout for ‘Ewan’, he will die if he is not under the tent!

F – Need to make sure that the candles are used and in the right times

Every Bit of My Love

Radley – Need to be much louder throughout the entirety of the play

Catia - To be much louder throughout the entirety of the play also

Yiannis – When you are naming the films that ‘Jack Hammer’ has already been in, look out to the audience, it is an obvious pun but one which is very important for the play to develop in the correct way

R – Use the script to symbolise Machines genitalia

R – ‘Call me a crazy son’ van afford to be bigger and bolder

C – Please work on your diction, use some tongue twisters and vocal warm-up exercises to warm up and help your voice

C – Don’t forget to attack R on “what do you want Ian”

C – Need a make-up bag

R – Use more baby oil and spread it across your arm, trying not to spill it on the stage

R – Put the lube and Deep Heat on the table, out of the way

Nicole – Need to work on your lines, making sure that they are 100%

C – When being sexy, walk slower and talk louder

N – Very good acting while sitting down on chair, use table if you want too

C + R – while kissing, try and create some movement to go with it

Coming Up

Antonio – Need to work on your diction and pronunciation of certain words

Shaun – Need to work on your lines, making sure that they are 100%

A – Fidget more; be nervous about asking your dad for money

S – More masculine from “I watched this film” and onwards

Yiannis – Need to be louder, project your voice

S + A – What is the connection between father and son? Do you see eachother often? Do you love you mum more? Visa-Versa?

S + A – Skipped a load of line “Ben is his nickname” bit

Monologue

Both – You both need to be preset at the beginning, like all the rest of the scenes are, if you are not then it completely ruins the feel of the entire show, it should be the same staging idea throughout
