Rehearsals

Tuesday 16^th October and Wednesday 17^th October 2012

 These next two days were intense! The whole group was nervous and excited at the same time at the impending idea of our performance being in less than two days and for the lather day hours away.

These days where spent in stage five of the devising period, as a group we were trying to hone each other’s acting, physical and vocal skills to fit with how we envisaged the characters.

We did activities such as hot seating for all of the cast, so that we could that each actor could find a subtext for the character that they would be portraying. 

Also to help them find motivation and discover things about their character that they had not found before.

Since my character isn't really a character in the typical sense, I'm more of a omniscient presence I did not part take in the hot seating. The way I developed in rehearsals was through improvisation and seeing what was happening in each scene, so that I could cast social commentary about it when speaking to the audience. 

I also had to practice projecting my voice without hurting my vocal chords, one way in which my group made sure I got plenty on rehearsal is that we were always outside doing as many full run through's as we possibly could. 

They stayed back a far distance to see if they could hear me from far away, most of the time they could. Another part of my performance included running at the curve towards the bridge and being a pace maker when it came to walking. These things had to be practised  we had multiple walk through's where member of the group timed the walk on their phone and how long it took our piece to be performed.
