Fight Notes...More stage notes to come...

3-16 Fight Notes from Jonny and Michael: General: Be aware of your sword tips. We did see a couple of times where scabbards/swords in belt hit the scrim behind the actor.  

SUGAR CANDY BOTTLE TONIGHT :-) 1:1 Father vs D'arty: -Good stuff. Great way to set the pace for the show--yes, loved it!  
-great sword toss....
Chris--get to stage quicker than we are doing--want to close that gap more--make it more threatening. 1:3 D'arty vs Roche I: -Cole, aim to whip the cloak over Ben's blade rather that throw it at him. May have been why he had trouble getting to his gun -Ragan, wait another beat before knocking out D'arty. Let the gun be a threat for a beat or two -Cole, give a vocal sound when you are struck with the knife
-cole: come awake more--open eyes--give us more of a lucid awake, so you can make a noise and it is noticable you are awake, knocked out again--also sells us later when Sabine comes out and you tell er about her..also, when sabine comes in, come awake more as well w head slightly out.
-Rochefort - get w jonny on the kick
-Ben: sword to kill darty - seemed like you struggled to get gun in belt - sword falling apart, etc..thank you for keeping it going and lceaning up bolts...lol
1:5 D'arty vs Roche II w/ Constance & Ravanche -Cole, awesome kill on Jono. Snap was the right speed - great work guys
-Ben, check your boots and cape position at all times- -Ben, sell the stab more. Give a verbal reaction
-Ben: nice bread hits too and the reaction to the bite was perfect.

1:7 Luxembourg: - fun, a few timing issues and lines dropped, but fun...keep the pace up and keep the faces up. - love the grunts.
-COLE/AUTHOS - loved it! nice work on your opening...cole nice work staying in bounds and not going into wing--it was a great sell as if you were falling off a cliff. look like you guys missed a move or paused for a move--be careful of that as you are directly ds. -Possible flub between Jono and Cole???? -Jarod, work those lines preshow to be sure the moves time correctly-- Leave more space between Porthos and guard
-Porthos/Taylor - cheat out more on the lines...porthos--maybe come downstage a bit more. - also, laugh more--have fun in this. 
-Aramis/JT/Paul/Morgan/Cole, great stuff....remember to cheat out on lines whenever possible.
-Porthos/Chris - great punches and knock out...classic
-JT/Taylor - if lines are forgotten or flubbed mix it up faster to cover...example, when Jared was delayed in lines--which does happen in a big moment liked, you guys don't freeze...help him w add in line to prompt or get out...Jared is experienced to know when you leave--he will give you a line out the door to get back on track w timing.
JT - turn your back away from audience on lines--get your back facing SL and cheat so we can see your express on your shoes untied, look, beat then high tail it.
Ben - liked to toss of JT onto stage, but work w him so he lands in the exact location for Porthos lines.
Paul - your fall was classic
Athos/Chris - we wll figure out the hang...--liked you two up top
Morgan - I think I will move you into the portals to hide and peek out during the darty fight, then come out swinging a sword...let's discuss.
1:8 Beggar Attack: -Chris, try to clear the cloak so it's not still hanging on your arm--liked the pace..nice work gents. 1:9 D'arty Torture: -Cole?, arch fingers slightly -Ben, get hands to Mark's hands a little faster to create the illusion. Awesome sell, though -Ben, punch to D'arty missed the mark (assigned target, not the Cardinal. Heh)
-Ben, first slap was great.
--Ben: wet willy not selling, so how about a ear pull? can you work w darty..does not have to be a real ear grab, just both of you sell it..loved the laugh after..
-Ben look up more.
1:10 Enter Debris: -Thought I saw some timing issues with the ending. We can tighten during the week - liked the pace of the beginning better.
Porthos - any chance you can grab a flower and wave it at rochefort a little as he looks at you.
Porthos - let's have you come out a little less from column - let's work on that today.
1:11 Mother Superior DIES!!!: -Morgan & Ragan, choke looks good - yes it was good....some how Mother ended up on the body though as there seemt to be a longer choke, but it really work.. rather than stand there..Mother--did you come in early or was choke longer? I think I liked it, watch it again tonight -Ragan, there was something a little awkward with the stab. Maybe not on the mark? 2:1 Montage Scene: -overall good - minor things that we know you know. 2:3 Darth Porthos: -Jarod, remember to move the fight downstage -Jarod & Sherry, run the fast swordplay before every show 
-J and S: S whisper, smile, take off....J: wait for a beat then chase her off..she should be past the bench
-team - check bench placement preshow to be sure it's on the mark--looked off and you guys moved it.
-S: We need to figure out a way to get you behind the bench cleaner--suggestin to move bench more SL to give you room to clear in front of fisher boys? let's discuss. this just means fight moves a few feet SL. 2:6 D'arty vs Milady: -Couple of missed marks. Was there enough room onstage? -If so, work the sword catch 
-overall great job though considering first time w a new chair under lights, etc. we should work the costume arm malfunction...
-
2:7 Athos vs Milady - great, great, great. -Looks great -Ragan, awesome fall -Gun shot was drowned out by the actors movement. Gun shot need to have a kick to it - make that gunshot further SL of table and downstage more....so we can see you upclose...I am okay with it being even w table or closer to DS, so split difference between table and SL wing and bring DS more.

-Actors go silent for two beats after the gun shot. 2:9 Milady vs Sabine -Morgan, don't anticipate the first stab
-remember cast swords w strong intent--do not mark/place swords...
-remember to not wait for next move--as soon as you see each other's eye go like bucking rams--there were a lot of pauses that seems over dramatic.
-several marking moments versus showing intent, fear, threat, anger, kickAZZ movements. let's review this preshow. remember between moves it has to look far more desperate and that ttere is a threat on you. even if you crawl to sword at first. need sell it more.
-the Ragan laugh was perfect, morgan's face was priceless and kill is so good - work w david on timing the music.
-we did notice the fight hit a bigger , good rhythm too more it went--let's get that at beginning
-morgan slap of ragan - need to work on that and either knap it or go for it....let's discuss today.
-Morgan, show no fear as you walk up to slap her...grow tall in your stature..big. anger. Think Kill Bill. - Uma.
-ragan slap n morgan was great.
