Once Nikki arrived this afternoon, we went through all of the texts-when they concentrate and invest, it is really fantastic but they really do need to get OFF BOOK!!!!! Things are not going to really come together until they get those damn bits of scrubby paper out of their hands and fixed in their heads.
We spent a couple of hours working on the participation toolkit-today was the best it has been so far and they did explore some interesting ideas and improvisations but they still need to push them harder and further. They rely too much on naturalism and need to explore the other modes of expression too. Also if they opt for naturalism it needs to be convincing and have a level of sincerity to it at the moment it is more like melodrama than naturalism. I am still going to need them to be truthful if they choose this mode of expression. Nikki works really well in this way and when she is not led astray by Rich produces really exciting work. Debs seems unsure of herself and seem to hang back and hold back-just a case of confidence. Rich relies as ever on comedy and smut to pull laughs rather than attempting to explore what he is offered.
OH MY GOSH I can’t believe how little time we have left to get this right!
