Lesson 8

1) Tia was ill so me and Andrea worked on the timings of each action we do and working out the positions we stand in for it, we also worked out when we come in and exit the stage according to the characters before and after us and where from the wings we enter.

2) We decided on using something suttle but affective to our character so a Lipgloss, we use this because we think that Cathy is very vain and cares alot about what she looks like and what people think so she will be constantly re-applying her lipgloss to give the audience the perspective of a very typical air head and very vain, i think shes an air head because she basically is the one who ruins everything and frames a real man from the post office.

3) I think i need to make Cathy alot more boastful and attention seeking in my scene and i also need to write down the directions that where given to me on my script because they where helpful.

Lesson 7

1) I enjoyed being able to see the whole way through to get a better understanding of how the story unfolds.

2) I think the play looks good but we have alot to do before the real performance as we havnt really connected as an asemble yet.

3) I think Romy especially impressed me because she is pretty much off script and has put alot of thought into her lines and the way she delivers them.

4) I learnt from watching my peers that i need to be aware of the pact that there will be an audience on 3 sides of me and make sure my back is not always to one side and also i need to think about projecting my voice in the space as some people seemed alittle quite.
 

 

 

Lesson 6

Lesson 6

I found this excercise very helpful as it gave us a chance to connect with our characters and think more deeply into the small things about them and there backgrounds, we also got to think about how they personally truely feel about the Adam situation which i personally felt like my character Cathy feels its quite exciting and is enjoying the rush of the situation.

Staging

Staging 

Q1 - It is a good chance for us as performers to practice performing to a audience not just infront of us but surrounding us. 

Q2- It limits the space to perform in width wise. 

Q3- Ever since i started acting i have always learnt to face the audience when acting so a challenge for me will be opening up to an audience all around me and trying to perform at all angles so that i can be seen by the whole audience and they will not feel blocked out. 

Lesson 5 - First Rehearsal

Lesson 5 - First Rehearsal

Today we started the lesson with working out our sequences with the other people that are being the same character as each other to try and show the audience we are the same character, we made Cathys sequence in perfect time and her doing her makeup and staring at her self because we portrayed her as quite vain , wierd and dopey

I did not rehearse this week as im in scene 3 so i did a character story board and watched .

Lesson 4 - Casting Workshop

Lesson 4 - Casting Workshop 

Q1- I found the workshop actually very fun as i found it quite a professional process of auditioning for the play, I read in for Jan, Leah and Lou, i particularly wanted to play these roles as i liked each of those characters story's a lot.  

Q2- I found the workshop interesting to observe as it was fun to see all the ways that people interpretative the text for a character in comparison to someone else. I was impressed by the way that Kim experimented with reading different characters in certain ways to make sure every time she read for a different character it wasn't the same.
