Staged Chaos?

Act 3. What can I say about Act 3? Well, Act 3 is supposed to be the performance of Nothing On in which almost everything goes wrong. In a sense, the audience gets to enjoy a bunch of actors stumble their way through the act while they make complete fools of themselves. When we ran through Act 3 with blocking tonight, we were a bunch of actors stumbling our way through the act making fools of ourselves. I guess you could kind of call that method acting, maybe? At the very least, we got a taste for what it should look like, but not necessarily feel like. Really not much to say about it except that it will take some work to make it all happen as written in the script.

I also kinda stumbled my way through THE fall in Act 3. I'm sure it looked like garbage, but I got a sense of what it might feel like. I might try to come in a bit earlier on Thursday to see if I can stumble through it a few times. The good thing is that it doesn't really intimidate me. I'm kind of fearless when it comes to stuff like that, but that fact may end up causing me more pain than if I were a bit more cautious.

So, tomorrow, we are supposed to be filming an interview as our characters in rehearsal for Nothing On. We've got the questions, so now I just need to flesh out some answers as Garry. These interviews may end up on the web or some local TV ads or something. I'm not really sure.

Friday, we have the photo shoot. This will probably be the first time most (or all) of us get to see our costumes. Not that they will be grandiose or ornate or anything, but cool nonetheless.

Oh, one last quick PSA/note-to-self: one should not fall down a flight of stairs intentionally with a pencil in your pocket. I only felt the tip a little, but it could have been a lot worse.
