Week Commencing 2nd of December

 Monday 2nd of December

Today we began the day by doing some vocal warm ups with Tom and practising some of the ensemble songs like Pleasure Island and Toys.  After this, we split apart into our groups where we ran the scenes we are in, however since I am mainly ensemble I helped others run their scenes by reading in for characters.  I also practised the dance for Satisfaction Guaranteed a few times with all the Bungrazzos as well as running their scene with Bernardo and Maria.


Tuesday 3rd of December

All of today we did a full run through of the show using the red cast to see how well prepared we were for the show.  This run through went well as there was no outstanding issues with it.  After this we were given time to refine the scenes/songs we thought we were struggling with, such as Just Because It's Magic.


Thursday 5th of December

Today we moved into the Arc, where, as part of the set production team, I helped move the set and props into the space.  Before this though, me and Jack hosted a set of warm-ups to get everyone ready for the day, and as it was quite a small space we used warmups that didn't involve much movement and just got peoples brains working, until the end, where we made them play owners.  Once we moved all the set in, we just worked on different scenes with different casts, like Pleasure Island.  


Friday 6th of December

Today we just focussed entirely on doing complete run throughs of each cast as the show was only only in a few days.  Each cast went really well, aswell as the fact I was in costume I felt it helped me get into character a lot easier.

Week commencing 14th of October

  Monday 14th of October This morning we played a new game called G'day Shiela, which was a memory game which made us remember who we were close to.  We played this game to improve our skills at remembering multiple things at once, as we had to speak in an accent, and the names of the two people to our right.  The rest of the day we put our full attention on Ghostlight Tours, with me, Connor and Adam going off to rehearse in the Black Box room ourselves, where we focussed completely on the first scene as it helped us get into character and it was the hardest part to learn, due to the rest of our dialogue mostly being short speeches before each section.  For now I just need to focus on getting of script for the first few pages as the show is actually quite close. Tuesday 15th of October Once again we mainly spent most of today focussed on Ghostlight, where we managed to read through the rest of the script while everyone else was putting together the final scene with C...

Globe Show Week and Evaluation

  Monday 21st of October Today was our first day at The Globe, one day before our first show.  To begin with, we warmed up by playing a few games like Splat so we were energised.  Since the first Tuesday show was the other cast, I was going to be an Aide in the One Flew Over segment of the tour, as the more people occupying the area in that scene, the more realistic it would be.  However, because my show is on the Wednesday, I still need to keep on top of my lines for The Sceptic so this morning Me, Connor and Adam focused on running through our lines together so we knew we had them fully learnt, since now we were in the venue some parts of the tour had been swapped around.  After lunch, me and the other people in the OFO section went through what we would be doing during Nurse Ratchet's section, like all turning to look at the audience at the same time during parts of her speech.   Tuesday 22nd of October This was the day of the first show so we immed...

Week Commencing 7th of October

Monday 7th of October Today in the morning we were still practicing for another Ghost Light audition as the tour guides hadn't been casted still.  Everyone who wanted to be a tour guide went to the black box room to develop the character they would like to play.  I sat and discussed my ideas for the theatre with both Faith and Connor, where we learnt how we all saw the character in a similar way.  After we spent time making notes, we got into the groups of 3 of the Sceptic, Theatre Reviewer and Mystic, where we practiced the audition piece, really getting into character, and even performing it in front of a few of our peers.  Once we were confident, we went to the dance studio to show it to Kelly, making sure to do it the best we'd done yet, as she was still unsure on who she wanted for the tour guides. Tuesday 8th of October This morning we focussed on the directing aspect where we practiced our Dear Evan Hansen duologue to be filmed.  While rehearsing it, both...
