Today... er... yesterday... was the final rehearsal day for the Shakespeare Fandango Puppet Project. I think that we have used the time to the best of our abilities and created a performance that will hopefully be enjoyed by all.
In the end it was decided that I would play Petruchio, Alice would play Hortensio and Katherina, and Jason would play Baptista, Lucentio, and Bianca. Though we each play a different number of characters, we end up with the same amount of lines.
We first began by running through lines and working on our character voices. I decided that I would try to develop a form of a British accent because it has that sense of sophistication about it. Alice would develop a deeper voice for Katherina and a Valley-girl accent for Hortensio. Jason would try to develop a higher voice for Baptista, an Asian-accent for Bianca, and an unbelievably deep voice for Lucentio.
After that, we began blocking out our movements on the blocks and working on movement and puppet-control. This part was easy enough because we only have three people.
After continuous rehearsals, I have learned my lines sufficiently and I think we are ready to put on a pretty good performance!
