In today's lesson, we were practicing on the stage for the first time. We decided the first thing we needed to work on was the use of the wings and our entrances/exits on and off the stage.
Once we worked out our entrances we began to rehearse.
First off we decided to work on the adult scenes so we know where to set out tables out so they are in our spotlights and to get a feel for the size of the stage. We quickly realised that Sarah Bennet's breakdown would be a struggle as most of us were concentrating more on what our exact lines were and when they appeared in the breakdown causing us to hesitate slowing it down and not giving it the effect it is supposed to have. So we decided we would forget the lines and just shout stuff out that is based on the breakdown so it would be a lot quicker because we concentrate more on the breakdown rather than the lines. After trying this, we realised it was a lot better and gave the right effect for the breakdown. This made the adult scene work a lot better and be a lot more effective.
After this, we decided to start from the beginning and have a full official run through (with props and costumes). I decided I wanted to make myself more like a child by moving around more never standing still and shuffling my feet when I walk.
