Class 12/3

Faustus

  • Captivating actors make a show
  • Don't try to get answers from it (don't try to understand)
  • Don't ask why, ask what
  • Like an abstract painting as a show
  • Invented in characters even if they aren't invested in the story
  • Try to see from one character's POV
  • Beautifully creating characters- not for the audience, just be in the moment on stage (not in the spotlight/main focus)
Monologues
  • Summer- Grey's Anatomy (Meredith Grey)
    • Huffing on "wife" and ends of sentences and in between lines
    • More energy at beginning
Reading
  • Maddie- 
    • Narcolepsy
    • Falls asleep and never wakes up
    • No Maddie voice
    • Turkey on Christmas
    • Type cast as quirky/cutesy
Scenes
  • Matt & Summer- DMV
    • People- like in the DMV
      • Crowds, annoying people
      • So that getting to the window is his salvation (but she's no better)
    • People getting in Matt's way
    • Me whispering story in Summer's ear
      • Sensual story she's immersed in (doesn't look up)
    • He needs to be more offended by her questions
  • Carter & Larissa- Fool for Love
    • DAMN
    • Carter- good stance, looks like a different person
    • Super developed characters
    • Larissa's crazy face
    • Taking real shots?!?
    • Can see him gripping her arm
    • Awkward getting her on bed
    • Throws her on bed and then she knees him in the balls
    • He threw a chair and knocked over the bottle
    • Burned him with a cigarette!
    • Good touching her and her reactions
    • So intimate
    • Great props
    • Good trashy outfit and belt buckle
  • Mico & Liza- Good People
    • Mico's face is great
    • Liza's story telling is amazing, as is her laugh
    • Realistic
    • She doesn't look at him?
    • Good scene for them
    • Good cutting each other off
    • Don't grab her so forcefully
    • Good switches between funny/loud/soft
