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.
