In the first group, i really loved Christae's posture and the fan really helped develop character. Sophia did a wonderful job performing, i feel that she could have added more of a lift in her posture, but overall the scene was fun to watch.

The scene with Danielle, Nicole and Jen was a delight to watch. Danielle's characterization was spectacular and her juxtaposition of emotions were such fun to watch. I enjoyed jen's portrayal of the servant with the more simplified gestures and postures. Nicole's understanding of the scene and the character was interesting to watch and i felt this group was very in sync with one another.

Zak and Mallory's scene was so funny because they added bits into the scene that were schticky and clownlike, with the dropping of the flower three times and Zak attempting to pick it up. The scene was propelled forward by the energy and understanding of the text.

Taylor and Rachel's scene was wonderful because of the chemistry they had with one another as well as the use of the props and the blocking was very well though out. The swooning of both characters was a bit too much to enjoy but it was great to see both actors go there.

In dealing with my scene, I loved the use of the male corset. Now i understand why women are always bitching about them. They really affected my postrue and although i did not sit down, they helped my sitting to make it very graceful. The sword in the belt became challenging, but was interesting to work with.
My scene with Roberto didn't have too much blocking particularly because we were having a father to son conversation, but i felt that making bigger choices could have helped the scene for the period in time.

Well done, all!
