Acting: Lesson eleven

Tuesday 13^th January

This week we carried on with working on our scene for berth’s Dr Korczak’s Example. The group I’m working with are hard to get working they keep going off topic and it’s getting annoying as we only have two weeks to finish our scene.

 I thought we can use the songs I need a dollar for when the musician comes in, thinking that if we have an upbeat version of this song. Using this juxtaposition distances them from the play. We were going to have signs on the musician saying I sing for my supper and have one Adzio saying something an along the lines of being unable to trust or I’m going to fight as long as I can to show the rebel that he is growing up in to. Stephanie could have a sign on her that is reliving her thoughts or personality to remind the audience that they are in the theatre.

When Adzio and Stephanie are slow dancing someone could put the dolls in the front of the stage and the dancers can slow more backwards they speak they lines but it only the dolls on the stage it help create less feeling for the audience. We haven’t thought a song to dance to yet but we are going to use dramatic music when we are change characters with revolves around the apple.

Our first scene we are going to use our bodies to make a table to set the scene for Stephanie and Dr Korczak so then we will going to the front of the stage and talk to the audience so we can break down the fourth wall.

My strength for this week’s lesson are the ideas I had but my weakness what that I could get my group to work so I feel we did get much done.

Next week I think we need to plan out our scene and put in to action the new ideas we have come up with and then keep going over it and then have an extra rehearsal.
