day 5.
all of us were there today, and we ran through act one, and then cleaned things up. i found myself so frustrated with how scene 7 went that i think i was visibly so. i felt like i was going through the motions, that i didn't feel it, and that we spent so much work on it and why wasn't i clicking with it, why couldn't i connect? i think i know now that dorante's eye contact with silvia is what melts her, and as long as she doesn't actually make any with him, she's ok, which explains the full melting towards the end of that scene, i just have to figure her out more.
francine mentioned that lisette and silvia are interchangeable, or at least moreso than dorante and arlequin, especially because they switch roles while the men don't really, arlequin becomes dorante while dorante takes on bourguignon. i really think that the interchangeable-ness comes from the fact that they know each other so well, it's a very close knit mother daughter ish relationship that they have. dorante and arlequin don't have that- in fact dorante threatens to fire arlequin for some reason....
i just need to flesh out silvia. she's petulant and bratty, but she does have a heart. it's one of those... she was raised that way type of things, and she would have no way of knowing better, but she does have a soft spot, and she...she's just figuring things out. she's playing a game that is playing her, and i need to figure out what the stakes really are for her.
the second half of rehearsal, i guess i wasn't technically needed, but i did help, i was on book, and i remembered blocking... but it was fun to watch. much better than any alternative of just...sitting at home.
lunch was really lonely today. i sat in a mcdonalds eating area (with my mcflurry) and ate so slowly just so that i wasn't sitting in my car alone. if anyone wants to make lunch plans ever, please, let's.
