October 30 Critique

 

Everyone	Tempo was better Cheat out Sideways- forward ways Noise for button – on elevator TV room – oompa loompas move benches after elevator scene – Alex, Reagan, Sunny, Riley Ending needed work. Freeze in an emotion, then when unfreezing – continue with that motion. Step on lines. React to the kids’ rudeness. Pull the second traveler for the blueberry scene. Look down on Charlie & Grandpa.  We need a buzz when WW appears.  EXCITEMENT.  Look at the ticket. When the door closes, some people want out. Reaction was good, but have Violet and Mom try to leave and WW steps in the way. React to Violet spitting gum on the floor. When Charlie says it’s the best day – everyone react. If the bean sign is behind you, turn backwards to look at it. Then the boat sways more.
Maky	dollar in freeze Great job today. You were involved in every part of the show. Great reactions throughout the show.
Gloop	shadow freeze
Sunny	project and pull shoulders back in the beginning Think about using something to make your nose purple. Your brother said purple marker on the gum. Energy was down today – probably because of basketball Drag out the gum scene.
Drew	be smug Be more powerful with “right” Be more involved in the show at all times.  We need to see your frustration growing from the beginning to the exit.
Reese	Step on lines We need to see your body involved when  you shoot the gun.  Like getting ready to fight. Try to shoot at the Oompa Loompas. Try to shoot the squirrels. Madder at your dad the two times WW and he get on to you. See you later alligator BEFORE you go into the TV
Blake	Stress walk into the fence. Be sadder with first candy bar Carry excitement after finding the ticket into the following scenes. Why do you say Oh Yes when WW asks you if you are ready? If the bean sign is behind you, turn backwards to look at it.
Jonah	Off to the chocolate factory – no pause and don’t be sad.  You are still uplifted by the ticket Leaning over & reading the ticket – be old – we’ll give you the glasses. Help maki down – old and polite. Fall needs work. On the “winning “ scene – you were in profile so cheat out.
Riley	Use upstage hand on my mother Play sick more You are waiting too long to say your first line and the other lines.  A glutton eats fast. Love the different ways you say chocolate.
Kadyn	Know you were tired – needed more energy today – be more excited when you have ideas.  We need to see your “tricks” in  your face in the introduction. Show us you handpicked Charlie. Work on different gestures You were a little squeaky at times. Louder when you are US. Work on fiery furnace line You were good with Veruca – we could see the control you had to have to act civilly to her. DO this with everyone else.  We need to see your frustration. Be concerned at the beginning – giving the coin to Bradleigh – it’s cold and snowy – the coin could be covered. Smile when he picks up the coin. Watch him with Grandpa Joe. Perhaps maybe one of these days?  I don’t remember what this was, but check for that line.
Reagan	Watch just using the profile- cheat toward the audience.
Evan	Work on your anger growing through the play. Freeze was good, then you moved your hand. Great job with expression on desserts. Look into  your pocket to check if Mike is okay, look at him, bring him out, listen to him, then shove him back in.
Reagan	Turn to Maky- we need to see your face.  We are losing all those good expressions.
Grandpa Joe and Charlie	Too memorized at the beginning.  Charlie go around Grandpa’s chair and put your arms on his shoulder.  Grandpa – try several times to get out of your chair.  Be almost unbalanced when you get up. Don’t sit at the same time.  Charley react more Don’t lose the happiness.  Remember that this ticket is going to save your lives. React bigger to the kids’ rudeness. There must be a BIG contrast between you guys and everyone else.
Ashlynn	React to the OOmpa Loompas better – scared at first, then fascinated.
Grandpa, Charlie, Violet	Violet is being blocked when everyone first meets WW.
Squirrels and people	More time with the squirrels.  One squirrel stop and look at the people, then another, then go back to squirrel business. Have an attitude.
TV room – work on this scene	Chocolate bar should appear sooner. Everyone react to Charlie getting the bar.  GP Joe – hard to get up. Mini Mike – Grandpa and Charlie are scared.   Evan more frantic.
Oompa Loompas	Start the song at the elevator sooner. Don’t wait.  We will have new jobs for you. No jazz hands.
Boat people	Keep moving slowly across the stage – swaying.  Kadyn, tap the pole to tell people below rowing to move faster.
Mike, Dad, Joe, Charlie	React to the fact that you are the only ones left. Wonder why?  Are you frightened?
The end	Needs work – needs to build.
To do	glasses for Jonah SHOES for boys Paint shoes for girls.
