This week we have been working hard on trying to improve parts of the play and give it that 'wow' factor. Earlier on in the week we focused on how we could improve on the opening and we went of into small groups and made up whatever we thought would be good for the introduction. Everyone came up with really good ideas and we ended up merging them all together. When researching the play I came across a video that shows the rehearsals for the production in London. They had people in groups of about 7, all moving in time and doing the exact same actions. It inspired me the share the idea of sticking together and moving but in a different way, we came up with a type of dance that is very organised and not a mash up of different things, nothing is going on at the same time and the more we done it, the more we thought it would be good to use as it mans that the character of Christopher doesn't freak out!
For this week I believe that a strong skill that I have developed even further is script reading, I've managed my time with 'outside school' activities and have given myself time to learn my lines thoroughly and I believe that when we rehearse certain scenes it shows that I've acknowledged my parts and lines and also stage directions.
My weakness however is trying to remember the lines of 'man in socks'. This is one of the final lines that I have and I find it quite a struggle to remember, however my solution to solving this weekness is too give myself a 5 minute break when learning the lines as otherwise I can find it stressful and it can cause myself to get in a slight panic.
When we are ready to perform the play,I'm suggest that we should play it to year 7's or 8's to get some feedback and see what we can progress further with.
