Due to some members of the class having a lot of pressures elsewhere, the cast list has been adapted to make the work-load a little easier. The new cast-list is as follows:
- CHORUS = anyone who's not a named character at this point
- FAUSTUS = Oliver Kelly
- MURDOCK = Lorna Clark
- GOOD ANGEL = Rhiannon David
- EVIL ANGEL = Charlie Sanderson
- VALDES = James Borg-Clancy
- CORNELIUS = Robert Andrew
- MEPHISTOPHELES = Lewis Fisher
- LUCIFER = voice over (possibly communal speaking edited to sound distorted)
- SCHOLAR = Charlie Sanderson
I am really happy with my new part of Murdock as I get to be a physical character, rather than a character in Faustus's head. This means that I get to work with traverse staging more (as we had planned to have the good and evil angel on scaffolding at one side). Moreover, I also don't have too many lines to learn as Murdock, and I can still be in the sin section.
Also in this lesson, we showed each other our PowerPoints on our given sin. My PowerPoint was on pride. On the left are screen shots from my presentation. I decided to put a variety of images on it to give us inspiration for this sin. The videos are mainly of beauty pageants to give us the right idea for our catwalk section!
As the cast has changed, Lewis is no longer in the sin section (apart from bringing on the KFC bucket for gluttony, and taking photos during pride - and that is all so far for Mephistopheles) and Rhiannon is now in it, we spent the rest of the lesson fitting Rhiannon in and teaching her what she has to do. Whilst rehearsing what we had of the sin section so far, Ollie and Lewis staged a duologue of theirs - the used the Frantic Assembly technique of round-by-through. Their scene was really effective as the physical theatre created more tension between the two characters. With the sin section, we altered the staging for it - where we have been practicing facing the mirror to see what it looks like, we have been forgetting our traverse staging - therefore, we went over the sections and adapted our spacing and directions so both sides of the audience would have a good view.
