ceebeegeeRehearsal last night went better (for me at least) than I feared. I was stressing about having to call for line, but I actually did quite well. Duncan said I switched a couple of words in the limericks and I jumped a couple of cue lines but that was pretty much it. I have to use a lot of compensatory memorization techniques with the first act, because Calliope's lines are so random. Some of it is muscle memory, but right now I'm relying on certain letters and cues in the cue lines, like when Carlos has a line where he starts off by saying Burro"--that reminds me that my next limerick is about a bull. When Elizabeth has a line about "you're an orphan, that's so sad" that reminds me the next limerick has a lot of Ss in it "Esser...lesser and lesser..."
I tried something new last night--a character voice for the first act. I think it works--it's an outside-in sort of thing that short-circuits me to the essential wise-child that Calliope is. I don't know if I'm typically outside-in or inside -out--I just sort of feel my way through roles. It helps when they're well-written and textual, since I respond to the written word so much.
