REHEARSAL

...
In this rehearsal, the wolf character came back from time off so we spent most of the lesson helping him with his blocking, choreography and making his movements larger and more exciting. As our play is directed at young children, we need the characters to have over-the-top and large movements to keep them excited and interested. We helped Hugo with this and made his body language more extreme. It looked much better by the end of it. We also decided to play with the music a bit and have Hugo move in time with it. Most of his music is slow and eerie but there is one part in this section where his music becomes quite a fast beat. We made Hugo walk in time to the music to make it more interesting for the audience. The cast was quite distracted and out of it today, however, Hugo carried on throughout.

REHEARSAL DISCUSSION

This rehearsal was a very tricky one. The cast's morale was down as we were expecting the two main characters to be there (as those parts are the ones we need to work on the most). There was a conflict between the theatre company but things were resolved that night. We decided to spend our time on the parts where we have interactions with the characters who were available for rehearsal (which ended up being 5 of us). The part we worked on the most was my interaction with Amelie after the duck dies.

DISCUSSION IN REHEARSAL

We believe that the beginning and end is quite smooth so we decided to work on the fighting scenes with the wolf. Our lack of characters made it quite difficult to rehearse the parts we wanted to. Georgia, as the duck, is in the first half and Hugo, the wolf is in the second half, so without either of them it was very difficult to find things to be able to rehearse. Our space was also quite inconvenient as it is a lot smaller than the auditorium where we will be performing. We also wanted to focus on linking all of the scenes as we've worked on each scene separately. We also need to work on the procession with the amount of space provided in the auditorium.
We decided to rehearse in costume as we needed to get used to the tutus and leotards etc. We did a full run through at the beginning to see what needed the most work on. Louis and Amelie spent a bit of time cleaning up their interaction with each other. Silvana and Amelie helped Georgia with her entrance. We then spent a bit of time on Silvana and Seth's hunter's scene. Then we helped Louis and Amelie with their interaction with the hunters. I liked the idea of having Louis help Amelie down off the tree so we tried it a few times and decided to keep it. We made the overall interaction with the hunters a bit more choreographed and into a routine. At the end, we spent some time choreographing my movements for when I climb up the tree. This is so much better now than how it was before.
I'm very happy with the way this rehearsal went. The entire cast was dedicated and motivated and it really shows as to how much work we got done. We were all sharing ideas and helping each other succeed.

REHEARSAL
In this rehearsal, we covered the movements from the duck coming out of the pond and then getting eaten by the wolf up until the procession. There was a bit of confusion as to why the duck was getting out of the pond in the first place, but now Georgia understands her character's motif and it's smoother. She thought that she was getting out of the pond because she was scared of the wolf, but now her objective is to instinctively fight the wolf, then realises how scary he is and runs away. I think we need to fix the section after the duck gets eaten as the wolf isn't doing much and it's a bit boring, especially for a young audience. I think the rehearsal, despite the little working space we had, went quite well as the cast was more lively and energetic today.

MY INSPIRATION
WHAT I DID
To create the hunters' look, I simply added some dark browns and blacks in splotches on their faces. This was to make them look muddy and dirty.

MY INSPIRATION
WHAT I DID
I went around the outside of his face with a black liner on a brush making lines and stripes as I went. I also extended this under his cheek bones and added it onto his eyebrows. Then I lined his eyes and extended that down to the inner corner. Under that, I added another line and filled in the gap with white. I then added the lines and stripes coming off of the lowest line. After that, I filled in his nose and added the line down his cupid's bow. I then finished it off by added white lines wherever I had the black lines. For the actual performance, I will apply the liner closer to his hair line so it doesnt look as disconnected.

WHAT I DID
For Peter, I liked the idea of rosy cheeks and freckles. I added a lot of blush onto the apples of his cheeks in a circle. I then scattered some freckles over his cheeks.
