February 29th, 2012 (Leap day!)

Today, since it was a Wednesday, so a short day, we didn't work on our play or do what we normally do. Instead we went out to the amphitheater and you showed us how if you stand at a certain point in the center then your voice will echo back to you, with only a minimal increase in volume to the audience. I had to talk pretty loudly in order for it to work correctly, but thats because it takes alot more volume to be able to talk to a theater full of people. You showed us this soo we will get used to the idea of talking alot louder while on stage so the audience can hear us. That is very important. Also, we played a cat & mouse game where one person chased the other through the lines of the rest of us. When a third person out of bounds call right/left/up/down stage, we, in our lines wuld turn in that direction, blocking certain ways for the cat/mouse to go. The tag game was just a fun way to learn the directions of the stage for when perfoming. It came pretty easily to me, but I did turn stage left when I should've turned right, or vice versa a few times. I do think I got the general idea of it down though.
