Fight Notes:

Trio-

Marissa- Great vocalizations

Bugbears-

Abby- Keep your grip higher on your axe so you don’t lose your grip, and make the swing more horizontal rather than diagonal

Russell- Keep your stance wide and low. Your legs are too straight right now

Sam- Get deeper in your stance

Bugbears- React to Abby’s death

Dory and Jack- Air in the head punch

Sam- More intensity on your cross to stab Dory and more intensity on the stab

Dory and Shae- Move slightly stage right on “We stand side by side and raise our weapons”

Marissa- This is the third time your daggers have fallen. Do we need new sheaths? Also, remember to keep your grip firm on the daggers unless you’re in the middle of switching to ice pick

Montage-

Jake- Aiming way too high again

Russell- It looks like you’re just waiting for Katie to stab you in the back. Pretend to try to fight or run

Sam- aimed way too high on the first shoulder cut to Ian.

Sam- You back was almost to the audience when Ian stabbed you, so the killing stab looked fake

Monsters (Especially Sam)- Exit with a little more urgency

Addison- Aiming a little too high on those shoulder cuts

Farrah-

Aspen- Missed entrance

Ian- great work taking the hat off before the punch. But try not to over vocalize so we can still hear Farrah’s lines after it

Marissa- Great vocalizations

Ian- forgot the wraparound

All with headpieces- We can pin them so they don’t fall during fights

Orie- Missed the first shove

Cheerleaders-

Shae- If you can’t nap on the head kick by Friday, can you try hitting your uninjured hand on the stage to make a sound?

Miles v Agnes-

Both- Wider, deeper stances

Orie- Faster on the head swipe

Dory- Faster on that belly swipe after the shunt

D and O- Faster on the first cut to reinforced parry

Shae- I liked the unsheathing your sword when you were afraid Agnes was in trouble

Cheerleaders 2-

Dory- Where is your stance? You’re just standing with a sword.

Cheerleaders- Great improvement on the heart rip

Marissa- Remember the battle cry

Shae- Veering a little low on that first cut, try to aim for Eden’s upper thigh

Shae- Prep a tiny bit higher for the final belly swipe, make sure we can really see that blade

Tiamat-

Katie- If it’s too difficult to change back into the sword belt, you can go without it. There’s no need for it in this scene

Aspen- A little quicker on the knife throw, but great work hiding it

Aspen- Great physicality on rising from the dead

Lillyann- You can exit when the rest of them do, around when Aspen is rising from the dead

All- Try to keep varying levels

All- Take Ian as your cue for the clap

Dragons- Now that there’s music, you guys need to make the vocalizations on the slashes even bigger. Match Dory

Dory and Shae- Beautiful moment, and Shae, beautiful work when reviving your dead friends
