Please share:
1) What did you find interesting/evocative/effective? What prompted a reaction in you? What worked?
2) What questions do you have for the performer?
3) Could you consistently hear and see the actors for most of the performance? Did it feel like they were really listening and responding to each other? Did they give themselves places to go and things to do? (Please note that you are not offering suggestions for fixing these if they weren't present, you're only sharing your experience as a viewer.)
1) The emotions felt authentic, I could tell they were upset.
2) Why do they have to sell the house?
3) I could hear and see them the whole time and it felt like a real conversation. I like the front porch setting but there could be some more space to use.

1. I could tell the relationship between them and how they are sisters. Both of their emotions were displayed well.
2. N/A
3. I cold hear them the whole time, and with their tone change when they talked about the house was good too.

Small hand movements, very reactive, found way to work around skips,

I can see and hear them the whole time, very responsive to each other

Don't worry about saying "scene," we'll know you're starting because you start!
If you forget a line, stay in character and say "line."
What do Claire and Catherine both expect for this first meeting of the day? How is what they get different from what they both expect?
What is the arc of the scene? How do the characters and their relationship change over the course of it?
Megan, you're pretty solid on your memorization for the first chunk! Now, how can you think of your lines in the moment as the character consistently rather than reciting them? (You warmed up as the scene went on!)
You all need more places to go on this set; you're trapped in these chairs right now.
I would look into some of the rehearsal exercises on the Moodle. You're both individually saying your lines in a way that make sense, but it doesn't feel like you're listening and responding TO each other yet, and I think really listening and being in response would make it much easier to know what's happening with lines.
Please don't whisper lines to your scene partner - how can you support moving the scene forward as your character?
LJ, how can you connect to your body in this scene?
We can see you both consistently throughout and you're both doing a really great job being audible!
Why does Catherine say she's smarter than Claire? How does that land on Claire?
The sort of arc of this scene is both characters trying REALLY HARD to play nicely with each other and then failing and taking the gloves off. How can that arc continue to bloom?

LJ and Megan
I could see and hear very well the whole time
Megan; what is your character looking at? What are her feelings on this?
Why did you choose to pause rather than stay in character and push through?
The dynamic is really clear
Blocking actually felt really natural
LJ, why does your character want to stay? Why is she immediately combative with her sister?

1. body gestures - walking around - using the space - change of tonality and delivery - smooth dialogue
2.No
3. I could hear them clearly but couldn’t see LJ much. They were listening and responding to each other. The space wasn’t taken advantage of.

1. the body language was very organic. The relationship between the two was displayed effectively.
2. Can the stakes be raised?the goal of the conversation? can there be more shifts of emotions?
3.i could hear them clearly, it didn't seem as if they were listening and responding.

1.The expressions on LJ face was very effective. The emotions with both actors felt natural.
2.Why are the characters just sitting and listening rather than reacting big? Could this scene be placed somewhere else? What tactics are used within the scene by both?
3.I could hear the actors for most of the performance but, I had a hard time seeing Megan’s face since I was sitting where Stage Left would be. When the actors knew their lines I really felt as though they were listening and responding to each other. At the very beginning was good because Megan moved into the seat but otherwise both actors were very static so I feel like both actors could expand on giving themselves place and things to do.
