Breakfast Table Scene - The Miracle Worker

Filmed May 2022
This is a recreation of a scene from the play The Miracle Worker. This scene was done for the Directing class for their showcase at The University of West Florida. This was filmed at the dress rehearsal, which is why the lighting in the video is a little wonky because they were still playing with the lighting in the studio for each scene.
The context for the scene:
This scene follows a moment in the play where 5-year-old Hellen Keller and her family and her caretaker, 22-year-old Annie Sullivan are at the breakfast table and Hellen is misbehaving. Annie sends the family all out of the room to help calm Hellen down. The entire scene is complete blocking, no lines are said until the very end of the scene. This was all blocked by our student director, Connor Lewis, and done very safely between myself and my scene partner, Alexis Hall.
Annie Sullivan (22)- Alexis Hall
