Subtext

Acting class has been cancelled tonight. Tammy and I are so bummed.

We've been excited to do our scene, because it's so challenging.

This scene offers very few clues and the dialogue skips around. Usually if the scene doesn't offer much in background, I can find the film or play and get it from there. This time though, I've been unable to figure which film our scene comes from and we've had to figure out what's going on, from just the few hints in the dialogue. Together we have probably read over it a thousand times.

I’ve been studying subtext all week. Which of course is what acting is all about anyway, (well, that and reaction), but it always feels good to go more in depth.

Perhaps all will be good next week and we can do it then.
