Repetition

I can definitely see what you were talking about now, Clay. The more James and I concerned ourselves with the beats within our performance, the better things got. By letting our beats flesh themselves out better, we allowed the rest of our scene to fill in behind. But in the bigger picture, we are still no where close to what the professionals would call a ready Comedia show. Just as Professor Phillips said, repetition is the key. If we had another couple months to work on these pieces I'm sure they would become consistently better and funnier. But as we are already moving on, that will not be the case for this particular scene. It was a damn good experience though. This is a form of acting I have had little to no experience in previous to this class and I am glad to have been exposed to a new performance style. My hope is that i will find areas in my other acting endevours where techniques and ideas born of comedia can slip in. If i spot any before the semester is out i will let you all know here on the blog. In conclsion I say we play the magic if game for the duration of today's class period.
