Because the stage was in use today we did some things to mix up the energy on our scene. We talked about possible blocking changes and then we did one of the exercises from our book to mix up the scene. We threw a ball back and forth at the end of each line. Except for the fact that I can't catch or throw balls and I kept scratching Stefan when I tried to take a ball from his hand it went well. We then talked to Tamera a bit about what she thought of our scenes from yesterday. She suggested that in the first scene we change some of my blocking to make Lizzie less active and more isolated with her loneliness. We also set up a time for her to work with us on Monday. After that, we did another mix-it-up by switching roles and reading each others' lines. This helped clear some stuff up for me with lines that I have been struggling to say realistically.
Then we worked on the blocking suggestions given by Tamera. We took a place where I had been moving and let me stay put, since I wouldn't indulge Starbuck's childish behavior by reacting to it, anyway. We also gave Stefan a prop to work with when he's telling his made-up story. I think these things will work quite well.
