Today we sat down in front of the chalkboard in Yost and drew a picture of the stage with our new set. We then mapped out each of our movements to coordinate blocking with objectives and the new set. We started with the second scene, which was one we hadn't blocked before. We did the first scene, which had blocking from, second.
In both cases we used a table (which will actually probably be acting blocks) as a barrier between the two of us. In the first scene, Rainmaker, Lizzie uses it to put space between her and Starbuck, who then uses it to invade Lizzie's space in an attempt to break her out of her shell. In the second scene, Sidney, Iris uses it as a way to put space between her and the truth she is telling Sidney. The table is more representative of the things they are saying than an actual table. Even though we used similar blocking I think the difference in why we use them will make it okay.
We practiced a bit with out new blocking but it was difficult to get a feel for the space because of the mainstage set in our way! However, after playing around with a few things I think we have a good plan and will be able to work with it from here.
