First day:

At the beginning, we had a short conversation discuss about which role should I play. My first choice was Juliet,but when I look at the scripts I changed my mind. As a actor, one thing that has to keep in mind is always remember your scripts, you cannot say “I forget what I gonnna say” during the performanc. So the main goal for the first day is to remember the first part ( we decided the parts that seperated into three parts) scripts. That was really hard for me, especailly there are some weried pronunciations like “wherefore art thou Romeo” or “I take thee at thy word.” Thanks for helping me,my good partener translated into mordern language for me. That helped me to remember scripts easily. And one way to I figured out is in this scene that Romeo’s only goal is to spend time with Juliet. So,he must be very excited when he hears Juliet sound. When I think about this, I would know scripts. At first day,I could not remember scripts detaily, but I could know what should I talk about next.

Second day:

After one day, I already knew all the scripts. We just practiced. Our purpose is to get more famailar with those scripts. However this time,I was being more emotional. I read scipts slowly and let audience can hear clearly. Anyway we kind of like reviewed what we did yesterday.

Also,one more thing to add. I looked around how others doing their scene, I found out some of them using props. I thought that is a good idea, because sometimes I feel awkward when I do not know where I should put my hands. If I have a prop,at least I can hold something. And I believe that is usually how professional actors do.

Third day:

For the previous two days,we worked on scripts. Today, we designed blocking issues. After we had a conversation,we made an agreement. At the beginning of the scene, we stand in the opposite place. And as we say one paragraph, we move one step. And At the end, we are going to meet. That shows a process of Romeo and Juliet fell in love. However,we feel only feet moves is not enough, thus we decided to add more layers for example face expression ad arm moves. All these movements are for enhancing the role’s personailty.
