Play Day #3...I think

Charlie was a huge help. I never knew that there were so many things to keep in mind during a performance, not to mention tricks of the trade when it comes to memorization. For instance, she taught us that if you say your lines while stepping in a box pattern (forward, left, back, and right, and repeat...) then it will help you get accustomed to saying your lines while moving. She also told us that if you add movements to your lines, then you'll be more likely to remember them. Something about how our brains work better when doing to things at once. Another point that I thought would be very useful, is that if you shake out your body before a performance, then you'll help relieve nervous tension. As far as our play group goes, I really hope that everything works out. I've started to memorize my lines, and I can see that this is going to be...interesting.

Peace.
