Intro to Theater

Today the Intro class really buckled down, and we got through all of the blocking except the very end. We'll do that next week. And we'll have to go back and do the fireman scene, which I accidentally skipped. (Sorry Jenna and Ellie S.)

Here are some of the terms that came up while rehearsing:

ad lib: to add lines or business not in the script, especially as improvisation

upstage hand: the hand furthest from the audience

Students learned to use their upstage hand to gesture so that it doesn't obscure their face. Those playing kids in the pageant have many opportunities to ad lib as they react to the action onstage.
