This session was grounded in detailed scene work as we continued building The Comedy of Errors. After some initial discussion and planning, we jumped into Act 4, Scene 3, where the group brought strong instincts and clear character choices. The scene developed quickly through repetition, with each pass adding more specificity and confidence.

We then moved into Act 4, Scene 4, focusing on staging and physical storytelling. The ensemble worked through the mechanics of the scene – particularly moments involving movement and coordination – offering ideas and adjustments to make the action clearer and more dynamic. The work required patience and collaboration, and the group continued to refine it together.

Later in the session, attention shifted to the VAE Hamlet piece. The ensemble is still discovering the tone of the scene, exploring whether it leans more toward comedy or seriousness. As they work through the language, they are beginning to find clarity in both the storytelling and their individual performances.

The process is ongoing, but what remains consistent is the ensemble’s willingness to experiment, question, and shape the work together.
