Hello, my fellow artists! I hope you’re all having a great week. For the past four weeks, I’ve been sharing my rehearsal process experiences for scenes I’m working on for my acting class at the Richard Lawson Studios. Keep reading below 🙂
In the finale, I wanted to quickly share the final 20 percent from the rehearsal process. 40/40/20 is a technique created by Richard Lawson to help us effectively utilize the time we have to work on something. The first 40 percent of the time you have to work on something consists of research and gathering information. The second 40 percent of the time you have to work on something involves implementing and applying the research and information you gathered in the first 40 percent (aka getting it up on its feet.) The last 20 percent of the time you have to work on something is devoted to locking in your product and coasting towards the finish line. Keep reading below 🙂
My first scene back as a returning student of the Richard Lawson Studios is going up on November 7th! It’s a scene from “Beverly Hills Cop 2”, and I am now in my 20 percent. I’ve made my choices. I’ve worked out my blocking. I’ve worked out my wardrobe. I know what I will talk about during my assessment. I am not changing anything around. I’ve locked it in, and I will continue working within this 20 percent with the remaining rehearsal(s) we have and when we perform the scene on Tuesday. (And with the other scene I’m doing from “Yellowstone”, which goes up on November 30th, I will also be approaching the final 20 percent soon.) Keep reading below 🙂
I’ll let you all know how the scene from “Beverly Hills Cop 2” went in next week’s blog entry!
