This week we have run through the whole of the show, we did most of act one scripts down and some of us did act two scripts down too, we particularly focused on all the train station scenes as these are quite confusing due to the fact there are quite a few train station scenes and also in some of them the voices have various things to say quickly and in different voices and this all gets complicated, we also focused on the script, most of us didn't have any annotations on our script and throughout the run through we were jotting down notes to help us so we know what to do for each scene we are in, this will also count towards our end.
At the start of the week were all instructed to walk around the room as one of our characters, I chose my uncle Terry character from act one, we were then asked to give this character a specific walk that differentiated it from all our other characters, I found this challenging as I didn't really know what to do but ultimately I decided to have uncle Terry's left leg turned in when he walked. This has developed my characterisation skill and then made me think about how my other characters should be walking and standing.
The research I have done this week was goggling images of people I thought were close to how I think my character looked, this was helpful as then in the next lesson I had with drama I was able to visualise the photos I chose for each character and hopefully improved my characters as a whole.
This weeks work has been quite exciting as we did a run through we were able to see the play coming together and it then highlighted the things we need to work on the most to make the show as good as possible. My strengths this week were made apparent to me by my teacher who said my characterisation for each character I play was very good as I had a different accent or voice for each of them and most of them all had different body language. My weakness this week has been not knowing all my lines, I now need to crack on and try and learn my lines as quick as possible as we only have around two weeks until we perform the show.
To develop the production even further I think everyone just needs to know their lines and know all the small scenes we are involved in that could make the play look 10x better if it is all super clean and slick.
