Greek Project (Week 7)

Most of this week was running through both acts making sure we knew what we were doing and that its was slick. At the beginning of the week we had completed act 2, but I do not know of most of the stuff that was happening as Act 1 were sent away to do Character studies.

Me and Abbi started to look at the scene between us both, we learnt the blocking and the lines, and later we had help to get more of a connection going between these two characters, we sat in front of one another and read our lines out looking into each others eyes. We then helped Reece and Charlotte with their scene as they thought that something was missing and if we watched it we could help them, which we did and we all agreed it was nice to kind of self direct for once as we got things done faster.

In movement we ran through my scene with the chorus, making sure it was fast and smooth. I had learnt my lines for this scene so that it was easier to get through.

The last two days of this week were used to run through Act 1 and 2 we did what we like to call a fun run which is where we would act out the play as normal, but someone would shout out some thing e.g. Harry Potter, Cowboys, Divas etc. and then we would have to act it out in this style, it was nice to be able to have a laugh with each other but it showed that we knew what we were doing as we were thinking fast on the spot whilst acting.

Its all coming together now and its been great working for the first time with the group on a piece already written, I think the audience will find this Greek Tragedy different, but entertaining none the less.
