In this lesson we finally finished off more or less all of our tales for the East End Tales play. Furthermore, another teacher came in the lesson to learn a little about us as she is going to cover Mondays lesson.
As always we started off the session with a warm up between both classes and also talked about the common group performances of which I have a ticket for next week. When we separated into two classes the first thing we did was get straight to our taxi driver scenes. These scenes are when we introduce the play by being a taxi driver who sees lots of people and events everyday. In our piece in particular we showed the driver character with the actions tired and worn out. However, we showed how sometimes he enjoyed his job and the different people he meets everyday with positive sentences and by also the emotion he is saying the line in.
As always we performed our scenes to the class and practised to refine them even more. We used articulation and physical movement mostly during performing as they would help us achieve a higher grade which would make the piece better. We finally finished the boys and girl tales (tales 1 + 2) and they came out very well. The physical theatre that we did had sound effects, character and was easy to follow. However, the girl's group also included smooth transactions of which we need to improve on. To do this I will rehearse in my own time the order of the tale for example which line comes first etc.
Our individual scenes have also went well during these two lessons as we finally can run it through from start to finish. However we still need to polish up the order and memorise it because we sometimes have trouble remember which part of the scene we are in and where we are supposed to be.
In conclusion, these two lesson we have completed two out of the three scenes I am performing and the third just needs a little more finalizing and then we would be completely ready for the performance.
My targets for these weeks are:
- Finalize my final scene
- Keep in focus
- Use more vocal techniques rather than physical
