The most important thing we got done today was coming to an
agreement how many scenes would be included in the play and what we would be
showing those scenes and the impact that it would cause to the audience
watching it.
The play is one act with three scenes, and two linking scenes
in which the Narrator narrates about mundane periods in Alex’s life, I say
mundane however they are an important dialogue between my character and the
audience informing them about small changes that lead to a big incident with
our protagonist.
When taking on this character, I didn’t quite realise the
scale to which I would have to interact with the audience, to keep the audiences
attention I think will be a difficult task, also because I will be travelling
with a large amount of people, outside I will have to use my voice a lot, to
project so audience members at back can hear me, I also have to use inflections
to raise tension and drama. It’s a challenge I look forward to seeing if I can
pull off on performance day.
During the day we rehearsed from the scenes that we had and
what we would fit into them, however I thought it would best to have a concrete
piece of script so that when we came back on Tuesday after the weekend we would
all know where we were because as of the past two rehearsal days it’s all be
improvised and picking up from where we left off sometimes magical lines got
lost/forgotten.
Since I have experience writing plays I volunteered to write
a full script for my group, each actor is to send me the gist of what their
characters say and I shall take it from there.
