We're on our way there!

DAY THIRTEEN

"We don't know where we're going but we're on our way there!"
-Designer Elaine Williams



Fresh off a House Party Weekend and BisonFest, the ensemble was glad to return back to rehearsal and   a routine. The evening started off with fairly extensive physical and vocal warm-ups which allowed the actors a chance to get ready and focused for the rest of the rehearsal.  

An important part of mask work is the Lazzi, a joke or bit commonly found in Commedia dell'arte productions. Our characters are beginning to discover personal and group Lazzi's that can develop into more detailed and plot oriented scenes. While our work tonight wasn't focused solely on establishing these Lazzi's, they can be great starting points for scene work in a devised process like ours. Further exploration and development of these scenes will continue throughout the week along with musical exercises led by CJ Fujimura.
