Monday 8th May
Blog Session:
Some of the people in our class were chosen to go to an audition for actor Idris Elba, the company was looking for dark skinned people to play certain roles in their show. I could not go as I am white. So instead I worked more on my blog.
Tuesday 9th May
Acting Lesson:
In this lesson we continued working on our performance and was given advice as we were practicing. The main piece of advice that we were given was to try and play off each other as the way it is now is dull and not very interesting to watch as it is slow, it is better we were given the advice during practice as it means we can apply the changes at that point in time and then improve it more for the next lesson.
Movement Lesson:
At the start of the lesson we practiced our soundscape ability. We were given a train station location and we had to think of all the different sounds that would be surrounding it. After we had completed that activity we then returned to practicing the Tai Chi movements that we had been working on the previous weeks.
Production Lesson:
We did not have a production lesson, instead we engaged in different activities such as a pop quiz about theater and actors.
Wednesday (No Lesson)
Thursday 11th May
Acting Lesson:
In this lesson we continued working on our 'Burn' performance going through the script and fine tuning each scene. Going through the scenes and then having call outs from the teacher for ways to improve both my acting and the scenes is more useful as it allows us to make it better then and there.
Friday 12th May
Blog Session:
For this time we were told to work more on the Unit 9 part of our blog as it is our most recent piece of work.
Acting Lesson:
This lesson was less productive than others as instead of practicing our piece we spent the majority of the lesson talking about how our blogs are supposed to be and the way we can improve on it. This means that we had less time to practice our piece as blog had to be the top priority.
