05.10.2020 - Principles of Acting - Mrs Williams

We were still struggling on what second text we want to do.  During these rehearsals we looked through the text Noises Off by Michael Frayn to try find some pieces of text where there are duologues or for 4 actors.  We found this quite difficult as there were many different characters or one was very prominent compared to the rest and didn't allow enough time for the other characters.  We decided for our time in the auditorium, we would continue to focus on 4.48 as we still haven't gotten much further than just the physical theatre at the start.  I began the lesson by leading a warm up, as I felt we didn't have a lot of energy.  After this, we moved onto 4.48 but I felt like we were quite stuck on what we wanted to do to proceed in this piece but we managed to figure out which pieces of text we wanted to do.  It may still be a bit too long, but it's better to have it too long, rather than too short.  I feel like we were also very focussed on our It's not you, it's me piece by Don Zolidis, as we are performing it on Thursday.
