We've finished with exercises, moved on to scene work. Dave and Gabby assigned a part to each of us, from a few different plays: Rabbit Hole, Crimes of the Heart, and Proof. We have about a week--week and a half to cut the scene down, memorize our lines, rehearse, incorporate blocking (the way u move around the stage), etc. so we can perform it and get good feedback.Goal: read the play (several times), really understand your character, then encompass it in your scene while playing off the other person.
Rabbit Hole
by David Lindsay-Abaire
I play the part of Becca, late thirties/early fourties, whose 4-year-old son was killed by a car in the street by her house about 8 months ago. She had left the gate open, and the teenage boy had hit him. This scene is the meeting btwn the teenager and Becca at her house.
