20.10.2020 - Principles of Acting - Mrs Williams

We began today's rehearsal with a quick reminder of our lines.  This went a lot better than yesterday but each of us have a few lines that we continuously get stuck on.  After that, we looked at the different music choices for the different parts of the piece.  We then went to a bigger space to do some more physical aspects.  Silvana mentioned that she wasn't too certain on a part of her chair duet with Tristan as she was planning on crossing one leg over the other but the bed is quite low so it's difficult and doesn't look very smooth.  We managed to figure out a different routine for that specific part of the chair duet and it looked a lot better.  After that, we discussed the issue with our Swindon 5.  We were previously walking over the bed and then stopping in the middle of the bed and saying our lines.  This was an issue as it slowed down our piece a lot and the bed is quite creaky and distracting.  We tried a few different ways but ended up coming to the conclusion that we would scrap the Swindon 5 and instead stand in 4 spots and create levels as we stand up when we say our line.  I think it looks a lot more put together and clean now.  Then we wanted to do an exaggerated run through, but Tristan wasn't in the mood and so it didn't really go to plan.  We also managed to completely forget all of our lines which was a disaster.  For the last two minutes we added a more concluded ending to the piece and decided that we were going to have our last run through at lunch time tomorrow.
