In today's rehearsal, Louis and Tristan and Silvana and I split off into separate groups and started to look through our second script, East by Steven Berkoff. Silvana and I started off this rehearsal by watching two different videos of people performing East.
We looked at this video to get a better idea of the way East is performed using Berkoff's style:
This was very insightful and showed us that Berkoff's style is very exaggerated, explicit and quite literal.
Then we looked at this video to see how the actress played Sylv in scene 7:
We used this to figure out the accent as well.
Then Silvana and I spent the entire rehearsal going through the script and deciding who would say each line and the movements we wanted to add to each line. I feel like we were being pretty reserved and holding back, so we thought we needed to not hold back and that we should be more explicit, like how Sylv is in the video we watched.
