Tuesday 23rd May

Acting Lesson:

In this lesson we went through the fine-tuing that we had been doing in lesson and the reasonig behind why it was so important. Everyone sat in a semi-circle and went through what was written on the board and then tried to apply it whilst we spent the rest of the lesson practicing certain scenes and beginning with scene 8.

















Wednesday (No Lesson)


Thursday 25th May


Acting Lesson:

To begin with we practiced the scenes where most of the actors were on stage which was scene 8 and scene 10, even after multiple times practicing the scenes and with all the time over the weekend it seems that the weaker actors were still letting the rest of the class down as they did not know their lines or ques which slowed down the lesson and more time had to be wasted going over the same lines many times trying to get it right for a run through.
Friday 26th May

Blog Session:

In this time I went through the things that I had written down for my charcater Birdman on hoq to play him more effectively, for example I wrote down his relationship to Sal and Aaron as they are related so I thought it would be best to start with the difference in attitude towards either of them. Then once I was done with that I worked more on my blog until the end of the session.

Acting Lesson:

We intentionally began this lesson by wanting to complete a full run through of all the scnes from start to finish but this was unfortunately not the case as when we got the the first ensemble scene (Scene 8) it was clear that the majority of the people did not know their lines and so could not pick up on cues meaning we had to stop and play an acting activity called yes or no which is a simple concept, you are asked any question but are not allowed to answer yes or no. This meant that for the next lesson where he would be absent, we would have to spend that enitre lesson practicing the ensemble scenes so that they were fine tuned and flowed all the way through till the end.
