Last Rehearsal Day!!

Today was the last full day of rehearsals!!!

We started off by playing some games ourselves we did splat and we also did some relaxing and voice exercises which we took ourselves because we wanted to get cracking straight away due to our performance being in less than 24 hours!!

We then go straight into our groups because there was no time to waist, we started off by running it for ourselves, the 1st act of the first scene was completely fine but then still the act 1 scene 2 ' the break up, still didn't have the connection! Zoe was struggling to get into character and I was struggling to find the spark we needed to make our performance believable

We then moved on so the other acts, scene 2 is my favourite scene allows me to really go deep into my role and explore options I had never done before, and as a performer I think my portrayal of an emotional state is much better than any other of my aspects!  However I didn't get any chance to rehearse with props so I will get time to rehearse once with props fingers before the performance crossed it goes okay!!Moving on to the 3rd and 4th scenes they were relatively smooth some forgetting of lines but this was the first rehearsal with no one using scripts so it was acceptable, it was very windy today which meant projection of our voices was a concern!!

Another factor that concerned the weather was our evaluation was planned to giving each person a balloon and letting it go but Sinead raised the point that the balloons could endanger the animals in the lake nearby, and this was a risk we were not willing to take, so we decided on just popping the balloons instead of letting them go.

After this we them concentrated on my and Zoe's scene once more because that was our weakest area!! I felt confident my character was ready but the connection was still missing maybe we are not aroused enough and the big occasion will bring this, but we will find out tomorrow!!

After our break we continued to run through ! It seems as if our play is now running at performance standard with only minor hiccups and we all know what we are doing, where we need to be , just minor details like accessories amongst others like lighting , timing of music and who was going to get the props!

Looking back on the day we made a lot of progress and I think every single person in the group including our production technician new what they were doing through the whole play.
