2 face and 1AP

It is impressive to see how things that on paper work well sometimes flunk in the practice. To compare with, some plays in the basketball tactical book are written to be shown only as theoretical because once they are tried, you see they really dont work as well as you thought they did.
This week we had our first real rehearsal for this years one act play and we had a bit of a discussion in the way we were going to focus the play. It was a moment of concern when we saw that the whole work we had done was for nothing because it was not working in the performance. We had to re do and recycle some of the work to catch up with the lost time and finally have a new idea for the presentation.
To be totally honest i still dont have a clue on how it is going to develop because for the moment it is very dull at least for me. I just feel as if the flow and the swag is not really happening. it is like a very cut and paste like play.

I feel like we have to work a whole lot more to actually understand what robersto whats for us, it is just a matter of dissecting the information and work really hard towards the creation of the play because for now its not the acting skills but the creativity that is lacking. the problem with the actual performance was not the game itself but the texts were too dense and the play didnt develop as we needed for the use of that game. the game that we presented was a mixture between gender bender and 2 face from batman, the idea was to portray 2 characters deviding the body in half and showing by this a counter point between these characters not only in the way of being but i the selection of sides as part of their limitations they cannot turn so they can only appear and disappear from certain places. Because the action were very slow the actual game seemed compromised and we thought of instead of the 2 character we could just do 2 but with a magic door in the back for them to change accordingly and finally we could develop this with more facility because now the entrances were mor fluent and with more energy due to the less focus we needed in mantaining one of the sides and not the other.
