Diary: Day 13 - 15/05/13

We started today by quickly practicing, then showing our scenes from last lesson. Both groups had gone with a very dialogue based scene – mine and Joe’s dealt with the issue of “why do we pray?” while the other’s had gone with an introduction to each of their characters. This was interesting, as the scenes were from the beginning of the performance and the middle (/end) of the performance – we thought we would favour one or the other. After this, Jay and Millie were put together and Joe, Stevie, Dave and I were put together to create another scene. We created a scene to go just after we had brought the audience into the church – it was mainly dialogue based, but had two sections where we used movement to show Joe’s character’s intentions and emotions. Jay and Millie’s scene was entirely movement based and revolved around an argument they were having – set to a song from Moulin Rouge. Again, this was very interesting as both groups didn’t favour movement or dialogue – we both were almost at ‘two ends of the spectrum’. Next lesson, we have all decided to come in with a possible scene to put into the performance, we will then look at the ideas we have and choose one to work on.
