This week we have mainly worked on running through the start of act one but without our scripts, as we don't have long left to rehearse this show we need to start learning our lines as quickly as possible so we can stop relying on our scripts. We also worked on the London train station scene a bit more to try and grasp all the lines the five voices say whilst we have to be in character and be conscious of lifts we are doing with Carl. I actually found this quite challenging as staying multi tasking all these things is quite a lot to think about at once but I'm sure with more practice and confidence with my lines I can get it.
We haven't done one specific exercise in particular to develop our skills but just running through the scenes is helping me get a better understanding of my characters and what I need to do to make them all distinguishable from each other.
The research I have done this week is quite small but I have been struggling getting to grips with my Punk character, I only goggled images of punk and this gave me a rough understanding of what a punk actually is, I got a good indication of what my body language should be and how I need to portray this character. I am also doing character profiles for all of my characters which is quite challenging as all the characters I play are very small and don't have a huge amount of lines so I haven't got a good indication of their personality, but this gives me good free reign to how I want to play the character.
This weeks work hasn't been too hard as it's just been a run through of act one which I'm not in very much but my strength this week has been getting a better understanding of some of my characters, my weakness has been forgetting about body language when being a different character, I have been focusing too much on my voice I have forgotten about my body, this is something I can work on for the next few weeks.
The only thing I would recommend to improve the show as a whole is making sure all the scenes where the whole company are on stage is we get all our transitions really tight and clean and make everything look really professional.
