Single Performing Arts Lesson (21st January 2016)

In today's lesson we completed our scripts for our scene we worked on in the previous lesson. We have created our scene so that our two duologues overlap. In the end we stuck with our original idea of having one pair speaking and the other miming to add the effect of the contrast in conversations. (E.G-  Kat's character sees abortion as a solution to an unwanted pregnancy, whilst Rob's character is completely against abortions and finds the whole matter entirely serious.)
Once we had written this script, we did a read through. 
However, as we were focusing on our lines we were not in character. We then read through the script again but this time in character. Unfortunately, at this time, we felt the scene was a little bit flat so we separated the dialogue again (with the intention to create two conversations.)
However, we did actually prefer the original idea of having the conversations overlap as we thought this was an interesting and different style of writing script.

Lorna then suggested we swap characters and read other peoples lines in the hopes it would give us some inspiration in the way our characters act. (We got this idea from our 'Flint Street Nativity' rehearsals when we swapped characters).
We then spoke about creating a soundscape here but we didn't get this far as we were focusing on character building and development.
