Rivals Scene Review

Kayla (Lydia) & Darcy (Julia)

Kayla forgot some words during the performance but when she stopped to remember them she stayed in character which was good. She also remembered to keep her arms up to account for her "dress" being to big. Darcy did a pretty good job of that as well. The blocking for the scene where Lydia was chasing Julia around to get her to listen to her was well done. I think more stage business could have been done so weren't just sitting or standing next to each other not moving. Overall it was really well done.

Kalond (Absolute) & JD (Sr. Anthony Absolute)

It was an interesting idea for Absolute not to move at all during his fathers rant/aside. JD had pretty good posture for a rich old man. He was fidgeting with his robe belt so I think if he had some stage business to keep his hands occupied that would have been good. When JD was describing Lydia he had great facial reactions to what he was doing. Kalond also responded to the description well. Kalond did a really good job of keeping a straight posture even though he didn't have a corset on.

Melissa (Lydia) & Me (Lucy)

I think our scene went pretty well. I should have delivered my lines in a steady way instead of high pitched and frantic. I think the props we used were really good. Melissa did a really good job of acting like a frantic spoiled rich girl. The status difference between our characters was established early on and maintained throughout our scene. I think our blocking was pretty good as well.
