Today, we first ran through the dance for ‘We Are Broken’ due
to the fact that Dave hadn't performed his with all of us and Jay had made his
dance slightly shorter than last lesson. This went well and so we moved onto
working on the piece of dialogue before this. This posed some problems as we
each didn't know our characters well enough to just improvise speech and so
even though people had brought in ideas for the scene; it took a while to start
creating the scene. But we ended up with a fairly long scene that explored
quite a lot of our characters thoughts/feelings on different matters. After
this we decided that we were going to kill Stevie’s character (by her leaving
the safety of the church) and this would shock our characters into coming
together for the last dialogue scene and the final song. We tried out this
final scene and it went extremely well as we used a lot of silence in it and
told a little of our character’s back stories. Finally, we started to come up
with ideas for how to actually end the show (with Coldplay – ‘Us Against the
World’), however we ran out of time for this and said we’d each come up with
ideas over the weekend and bring them in next lesson. This lesson was extremely
useful as we created the last few scenes and now have a good idea of the show
as a whole – not to mention feeling much closer to our characters. Next lesson,
we will hopefully finish the show and start to possibly run some of the scenes
we haven’t done in a while to get used to them again.
