Mask, Movement, Mayhem and Melons

DAY NINE

You know your production has started to take some direction when you here your director say to herself, "I'm holding a watermelon but I don't know why...a personal watermelon..." 


The evening started off working with actor and sound director CJ Fujimura who is working on creating the score and sound identity for our production. The actors got to play both in mask and out of mask with the core melody of our piece. It was a great warm up exercise and way for the ensemble to get a feel of the direction our show will be taking in terms of sound.

Today we also continued our individual character interviews (see: Character Interviews) but we decided to move the audience into the house. This change allows the actor on stage to have freedom of movement in any direction and to start performing to the house. Each interview is followed by a short discussion which allows both the interviewers and the interviewee to discuss and digest anything important that they discovered.
