We are going to try something new

Reactions during the performance

You will be given the opportunity to react DURING the performance

React about..

• What you see that interests you

• Talk about staging, costuming

• Talk about the 5 skills we have been talking about (Characterization, Movement, Emotion, Pitch, Tempo)

• What makes you smile, what makes you think

You will have the opportunity to react toward the beginning and toward the middle/end.
