17th january

Today from my notes we began the day with a few warm up exercises  to get all us actors in the mood for a hard days working i was ill so i did not get to stay but from what people told me we started with adapting on the opening sequence but i can not say anymore this would have been good for me to stay because woul have helped me to be off script

10th

today was a new year and we started it off by getting into the 3s we were previously in and try to make the opening  better by changing it the only thing we change in ours was a bag and we made the leg swap shorter timing so that we could shorten the scene by a bit this made it a bit more easy for us to follow my character has a ball in each of his scenes and we use it a lot in different ways but it shows apart of our character to the audience we haven't worked out a costume yet.we want the audience to understand that this character might be the most normal out of the lot he trys to look cool but gets worried like everyone else .we then went off into scenes and i had to work with Sonia again just to tighten up the scene and i believe it really helped and helped us to be nearly off script.

20th

in this rehearsal we managed to do a full run threw of the show this was good for us because it meant we got to watch everyone else perform. in the rehearsal i learnt that watching others can help you because it shows you maybe how to use the posture or the way they speak to your advantage but our characters were our own interpretative in own ways my target for the week would be to be fully off script soon i think the play is starting to look good and it is coming together.|Romy impressed me because i believe her personality and ability is meant for the way Leah is Romy plays her so natroliastic. 

6th december

this was the first rehearsal for our play DNA in today's lesson me Tyler and Ben came up with a scene which shall be showed at the start of the performance this shall give the audiences an understanding of who our characters are and about their personality's we only worked on this for a small part as we then began to watch people performing on stage and watching each other i was not there for most of it because i went out side to practice with Sonia about our scene with each other. This helped me because some of the words in the scene are confusing to me to me and the rhythm of us had to be on point otherwise the words/lines would not come out properly this carried on till lunch and just before scene 3 it was time to pack up and finish for the day so even tho i didn't  get much done i had a lot to do in the lesson we also made sheets about our characters which i shall upload theses before febuary.
We walked in the Theatre space were performing in and we are in a Thrust staging layout. We sat with the people who share the same character.

was not present on the 13th of December for rehearsal due to German exchange trip

thrust staging

.everyone can see whats happening on the stage during performance
.you may have your back to the audience

 question 
As an actor I believe that it would be hard for me because I need to move to speak then would be worried that the audience cant see me.

So today we started a new day in a new room in the main building. Today's focus was on truthful theatre we want to create truthful theatre on stage because it makes the way you feel and move on stage seem real to the audience.We started the day off with a game called i don't believe you where we watched people act a scenario and then we got to shout at them.i think we got to play this game to show how really to be truthful on stage.From watching this i found out how to let emotions out on stage without being over dramatic.For example TJ was given the scenario of all his stuff being gone out of his room when he got home.AT first he didn't show the truth because he came in screaming this made it over dramatic but he then began to tone that down and show emotions on the face and not the voice this made it truthful.after a break we looked at the work of non verbal communication this is when in a performance the actors dot speak.I worked with my friend Marli and we created a scene where i had to sit her down and tell her she had cancer during the performance we had Lego house by Ed Sherran. I think that Sonia's performance was good because she really broke down into tears without sound.We then went on to looking at Stanislavski who was the creates of naturalistic performance.                                                                                                 Konstantin Stanislavski  was born 17th of january 1863 and was born in Moscow and died when he was 75 years old Stanislavski treated theatre-making as a serious endeavour, requiring dedication.


we went onto a piece of leahs monologue we looked at the subtext i canot show  my anitated pice of work as my scanner broke. a subtext is what the feelings behind the lines are and what emotions should be made with them.we worked on those because it gave us an insite of what leah would be feeling i think it really helped me because i realised during performing you always have to think about the back story and subtext of what your saying. i think truthful performance would be extra important to us because the play is for are age and  is all about friends which is a aily task we really have to go threw everyday of trust and friendship.
