In scene one we are all islanders going about daily life, my group is rehearsing a dance to happy birthday for twinkle. When making up the dance we thought about using strange, big, twisting movements to make it seem tribal. We also have changed our voices for when we sing happy birthday to make it sound sharp and staccato to show a tribal adaptation. In this scene I have the objective 'to look' quite a lot because I am interested by the god anchors and the clock Daphne gives to Twinkle. This scene is all about the atmosphere therefore I as an islander need to constantly be reacting to what the main characters say and the tribal elements of the scene.
Scene Four is also a tribe scene, we run at the beginning to represent the scene and then we turn into islanders intrigued by Foxlip and Polegrave. When Ataba is shot we have to quickly react to keep the tense atmosphere.
These Three scenes are very simple but the lines need to be quick and everyone needs to react to the situation taking place.
Notes from the lesson:
- Need to be focused in rehearsals - always work at distinction level
- Constantly be switched on ad ready (Don't lose concentration and interest after a few minutes)
- Invest in the play
- Have the courage - to do something with your career and to be someone
- A performance can only be as good as the worst person in it
- Know all movements
- Learn lines
- Rehearsals do not finish - during the week look over notes
- Make good notes on staging diagrams
- Fully commit to rehearsals
- Working as an ensemble means that everyone needs to know lines, what they are doing and be committed.
- Energy and transitions are key don't allow lulls
