Today we went through a few short scenes including my own when puck is on his way to deliver the good news that he put the spell on Lysander to make everyone in love only to find out later he made things worse.  He then comes across the mechanicals rehearsing and turns bottoms head into a donkey for fun. 

During this scene rob gave me feedback on saying my lines differently and making a clear understanding of what it meant "what hempen homespuns have we swaggering here" in translation "what the hell do we have here? What's going on? What mischief can I cause?" 

We decided from the feedback to pick up the script when the mechanicals are reading it so it looks like the script is floating in the air freaking out the mechanicals and getting a laugh from the audience by their facial expressions. At the end of the scene when bottom walks of stage I wave my wand/magic potion to indicate I'm the one who magics bottoms head.
