I'm a big fan of verbatim.

Here were the notes:

Opening:
  • Make circle and face outwards

Midas:
  • Charlotte: Project!
  • Rory and correll can be on steps like Bowen
  • Adopt a personality
  • If ball comes to Kris, he needs to grab it.
  • Don’t be in a line, spread out.
  • Dov, before exit make sure fabric is in basket
  • Bachus, pay attention to Midas and Silenus and don’t steal focus from them.
  • Sunday: Dov and Alex need to practice drag.
  • Bachus: keep energy throughout scene, even after midas tells you his wish
  • Everyone: PROJECT!!!
  • Connor: Project!

Alcyone and Ceyx:
  • Alcyone: BEWARE! of pitch patterns. Make it sound less like rehearsed lines, especially when talking to Ceyx about him leaving.
  • Why uneven sailors on each side? Bella in wrong space?
  • Iris: Start falling asleep as you lean in to talk to sleep.
  • Alcyone: When you repeat “No Good” there should be a difference in between the two
  • Alcyone: When you get the yellow fabric, immediately hold it like a lantern.
  • Kris and Bilal: Commit to movements

Erysichthon:
  • Oread: Good choice on floating as walking.
  • Ceres: Make it sound like “Cold, Fear, and Gaunt Hunger”, not “Cold fear and Gaunt Hunger”.
  • Oread: Be careful of going on the platform because there are people there.
  • Erysichthon and Hunger: After selling Mother, Find a way to sit on the steps instead of disconnecting.

Orpheus and Eurydice:
  • Denizens of the underworld: take longer to reach for Orpheus.
  • Hermes: make sure you’re projecting.
  • Go ahead and put the flower petals in with the red fabric in its basket.

Vertumnus:
  • Katherine: Project and stop moving feet when:
    • Pomona and vertumnus are talking
    • When Pomona and vertumnus are running up stairs
    • At the beginning of Myrrah.
     -     Myrrha: Pretend like you’re refusing suitors.
  • All Ladies: Adjust hair so you are not messing with it during a performance.
  • Myrrha: We need to hear “One Like You”.
  • Myrrha: project.

Phaeton:
  • Phaeton: Slow down on lines.
  • Michael: Stop rushing “Singing Lines”.
  • Michael: Why'd Ya stop?
  • Connor: Don’t rush to put fabric away. Notice Phaeton

Eros and Psyche:
  • Artesia: Do candles light up? If so, turn them on before scene.
  • All except Alex: Project and articulate.
  • Eros and Psyche: Could not understand a word of what you were saying, please project.
  • Eros and Psyche: Hym hands should be on the rug.
  • Katherine: Actually, do not strike rug.

Baucis and Philemon:
  • Baucis and Philemon: Clip things up high instead of down low.
  • We need to have people to take baskets and spread out fabric before Baucis and Philemon.
  • Make each whisper less subtle. We need it a bit more quiet after each one.
  • Kris: we will get you a gold jump rope.
