Rehearsal 1
This is our
first rehearsal for D.N.A as our characters. I was in the first scene therefore
I was directed. I was told to enter from downstage left and walk to centerstage
canter and deliver most of my lines then move upstage cent up where I will
stand for the rest of the scene. I find it easy to be directed, the way I stand
and what I do when I stand I will have to figure out myself, so I get a better
understanding of my character instead of being told what my character should be
like. I will bring in a more realistic character if I personalise him and
decide myself what he does and why he does it. It will be more believable and
less wooden.
We were
asked to devise an opening section for the play which is not officially part of
the play but will help the audience understand that there is more than one
actor playing a character. The opening scene shows what our characters do in
the morning when they wake up. Me and TJ kept it simple, the Richards would
walk to the centre of the stage facing outward to the audience then brushing
his teeth, washing his face, spraying deodorant and putting on a hoodie finally
walking off in opposite directions. In the coming weeks we might adjust thing
slightly.
Staging
Trust stage
Advantages
·
Creates
more intimacy between performers and the audience
·
More
versatile
·
With
a small audience most of them can easily hear you
Disadvantages
·
Hard
to face the entire audience
·
With
a larger audience you need to project your vice more
I will be
hard for me to face most of the audience mostly the left side, I don’t have to
worry about how loud I am because I am shouting most of the time so I don’t
have to worry about the audience not hearing me.
