Acting Journal X: Self-critique of the open scene

Acting Journal X: Self-critique of the open scene

For my partner, Jorge and I , the "final touch" on our open scene was a little rougher than we would have liked. The night before, we had been forced to cancel our last practice session at the last moment. While we had practiced hard for the scene, that left us slightly more nervous than we wanted come performance time. In the actual performance of the scene, I noted that I got right into it- the training had paid off. However, it wasn't the best version of the material that I had done. I noticed that my emotional work, while adequate lacked the "punch" and synchronization, that our best practices had possessed. Considering that we had a rough around-the-edges practice schedule, I feel that overall, I did both what I needed to, and something that I could be proud of.
