Last week, our campers put in a lot of effort and dedication to "work" (tweak, change, and/or run) key scenes from the play. At any given time this past week, different sets of actors participated in this scene work while others recorded their characters' thoughts in our journals and others participated in movement workshops meant to further develop their movement awareness onstage. We also led our actors in a reaction workshop in which they imagined reacting to different events; this helped all of us realize how important it is for actors to react to events that happen onstage, even and especially when they are not speaking.
As we move into week 6 (our last week of YSP 2014!) we will focus on dress rehearsals, pinpointed scene work, costuming, and coming together as an ensemble to create a funny, coherent, textually aware and enjoyable show. We'll split our time between our rehearsal space in the Howe Library and our performance space in Dartmouth Hall.
This Thursday at 7pm in Dartmouth Hall, it all comes together. Please join us to celebrate our campers' hard work and have fun with our YSP 2014 ensemble!
