Critiques for September 14

Notes on Jack and the Giant Beanstalk

Everyone	We have peanut allergies in our group, so do not bring anything to rehearsal that has peanuts. Project Watch happy feet or swaying – don’t do it. DO NOT WALK BEHIND THE SCRIM (WHITE CURTAIN) BE BIGGER! Look at who you are talking to. Open up to the audience Step on lines Need more facial expressions. Diction – HIT ALL CONSONANTS Have connections by touching Face the audience. Ship needs to be in-sync More people noises Slow motion in the back is distracting because it is in different speeds. Laughing and games not realistic BE lOUDER _Everyone Have purpose
Lights	More light on village and Jack’s house
Reese	Fighting – don’t speak until you are facing the audience. Attack, Ned needs to be louder and bigger Vary your voice Feel how sharp your father’s sword is Be more hcildlike
Kiara	Look at who you are speaking to Be louder as the giant Be urgent and scared when on the boat.
Cooper and Reese	Be louder Relationship between you needs to be more defined (sorry you are sick, Cooper)
Reese & Riley	Work on stage combat
Sarah H	Be louder Remind us to give you a basket so it is not so awkward.
Riley	Needs to be louder When you say – come in little man, we need to see your face. Lower your voice. Have more expression. We don’t need to see so much of your profile.
Reagan and Sarah H	Be more snooty. Plant feet and more facial expressions.
Blake	Plant feet, be clearer and slow down Be more mysterious
Georgia	Watch your back with Plum and Pomegranate
Children	You need to be more USR or frozen until you hear Ned & Jack come in
Reagan	Work on diction
Reese & Blake	Need to be different.  Blake you need to be creepy and conniving.
Katylyn	Look at chickens on you tube.
