Rehearsal

Theatre Notes: 

Started back on page 31 in the scene where Miss Havisham is talking to joe. We are in Monday afternoon rehearsals for our first week rehearsing on a Monday. I'm starting to like how chorus are diagonal in most scenes. It uses the stage and you can see everyone on stage. I've been assessing Ben who plays joe and I think over the weeks he has definitely embodied his character we'll and has made some strong decisions about his posture and accent on stage. The energy is getting better and everybody on stage in a scene are constantly being their characters and never not doing something with their character on stage. I think this will work well with the props and set, as we only have one significant object each, I think each character should use this in their scenes because it gives them something to do when they aren't speaking and making the 'object' obvious. We have learnt today that we finish act 1 on page 41. Today we have run through our scripts and given chorus all of their lines. We have rehearsed from where we finished on Thursday and also we are going through other elements of the play such as sound and effects. We also set up the theatre room as a thrust stage with chair on two sides and the front to represent the audience. We set up every scene in the correct positioning and went through blocking once again.
