Rehearsal

Theatre notes 2: 

We started from the beginning of act 1 in our Monday rehearsals and were told about our costume choices, Young Estella's being:

-black dress ( long and flowing) tight in some areas 

- some black shoes, maybe small heels?

-a locket(gold,noticeable) 

-curly hair 

Make up wise: 

-pale make up

-red lipstick

-no black eye liner

The show looks really good and there is a week until our show. Our rehearsals are coming together nicely and the energy levels are definitely higher. The only thing that I am worrying about is the translations between characters as we haven't looked over them yet. Sound wise the Christmas scene looks good as now all of the girls are singing 'holly and the ivy' and just after that scene everyone makes sound effects as the wind. Young Estella's character needs to be more of a bitch to be honest but it's a lot harder because estella is so quiet. This rehearsal I am going to try and be a bit bolder as all of Charles Dickens characters are. To see it all coming together is exciting and it came to about 45 minutes in the end. I have been watching and analysing chorus in depth as they are on scene all the time. They are all doing really well and their energy levels safe high but I think that they all need to focus on staging and how to perform on a thrust stage. On Wednesday we all need to make our own way to Charles cryer theatre. I just did my first scene and I think I need to tell a story some more with my lines. As the scenes go on, the energy levels 

drop sometimes but I think this will improve towards the play.
