To begin this lesson, we went over the movement piece we did last lesson. Our timing was much better today as we managed to finish all of the accusations in time for Ollie to get to the centre before the music ends. We are happy with this movement piece, but we need to go over our first movement piece. As we made our opening section before getting the cast list, we have made a generic piece - I think we should consider altering this piece a bit so we can all be our characters (as we involve some of our own characters in the movement piece we made last lesson).
We then ran the first scene and staged it in a bit more detail. We considered our entrances. We decided that we would like all characters to come through the audience in this scene. We then moved on to the second scene. I think that these two scenes are getting a lot better every time we do them, but we should be off-script as soon as we can to then be able to work on our body language more. I think we understand our characters better now and how we would interact with other characters. We did a little bit of the third scene today but not all of it.
As we have cut down our scripts a lot, to make it our own version and practical for us, we now have four confusing looking scripts each. Due to the amount of cuts, we are wasting rehearsal time trying to make sense of our scripts and find where we cut to - therefore, I have edited the scripts and re-printed copies so we all have a clean copy which we can then annotate with notes on blocking if need be.
