Tuesday 29TH March 2011

Tuesdays lesson was very simple indeed.
We focused on our script reading and contrast in characters.

On the first session of our 2 hours, we did some excersises.
Such as 'The Sunshines On' & 'Cat and Mouse' and a new excersise which was in an old programme, i forgot the specific name.

It consisted of the group standing in a circle, and one person would do a funny walk, action, or walk and funny face, into the centre, choose a person and look into their eyes and do the same walk to that person and stand in their place while that person does there own thing and so on. This helped us understand creativity in creating a character with contrast and exaggeration, also facial expressions by using an excersise which included all 3 of those skills in practise.

In the second hour we did practising of our scripts, however we got to choose our own scripts from a choice of books. Me and Georgee chose 40 Short plays, and we were going to choose 'Fate' however, we had a new memeber to our group, Shakelun, and we changed our play to 'Class' and this was about 3 ladies on a bench talking about the definition of 'Class' and different manners of it. We decided on this because of the topic and the structure of the script.

Some performed close to the end and we discussed how they contrasted their characters and how well they succeeded, they contrasted well as they worked together in their gorups. Redzy's group succeeded and so did Tia's group because they showed individual work and worked well in their chosen groups.
