Today we ran the scenes we already had but this time applying what we learned in our Laban Movement workshop. This greatly improved our scenes as our characters were more convincing. Also, as Robert and I were struggling with our characters of Boggis and Bunce we split from the rest of the group to work on our characterisation. Although we could have established our body language on our own, we decided to do it together as to make a bigger contrast between our two stances, thus making our characters more comical. By next lesson we hope to have established our character's voices too.

ACHIEVED THIS LESSON:
- rough outline established for "The Feast" scene (All)
- scripted and blocked opening scene (Farmers and Narrator)
- blocked and roughly scripted the "Starvation Begins" scene (Foxes)
- set ideas agreed
NEXT STEPS...
- script "Starvation" scene
- bring in costume parts we have at home to practice in
- buy costume parts we don't have
- get materials to make set
SET IDEAS FROM THIS LESSON:
As we most likely won't have wings or anywhere to get changed, we have decided to make a bit of our set big enough to get changed behind. We have decided that we will make a tree for this purpose. The tree doesn't have to be tall as we can duck when we change, but it will need to be wide so we are not seen by the audience. We will start making designs for this piece of set for next lesson.

London Riots Devised Piece (10)
22/10/15
Today we did a run-through of all scenes apart from the interview duologues. In this run we focused on timing and transitions. Our transitions needed polishing as they are essential to making our performanceflow properly. After this run, we split of into our partners to rehearse our interview duologues, as we had only done these scenes once. We then performed these mini scenes to the rest of the class. I was told that my body language and use of voice were very convincing, but we needed to work out a way to end the scene, as we were unsure on how to do this.
02/11/15 - Character Profiles
Character profiles are useful for getting a better understanding of your characters. On the inside of the ginger bread men outlines, I wrote down the character;s internal emotions and the reasons for these emotions. On the outside of the outline are external factors effecting the character and an explanation of each.
