What were your original personal goals at the beginning of this process? (acting and technical)
   Acting:

• memorize all my lines and say them with feeling as my character--so I don't sound memorized
• get into character and effectively portray my character
• portray good chemistry with my other two characters

  Technical:

• take on a directing role with my experience from last year
• make sure blocking and line interpretation made the play make sense and be entertaining
• get costumes that could highlight character differences/similarities
• use noh's set with our play
