23rd and 25th April

On the 23rd we rehearsed scenes from Act 1, and showed them back to the class. I helped people work out there blocking and timing as some people weren't moving when they should and it would mess up the timing of the scene.Most of the first scenes set the scene of the play and introduce the characters. Its it important it know why your character is on stage and doing what they are doing. In the first scene its important to have lots of energy so get the audiences attention. Scene 6 shows the audience how out of control the classrooms are, this is the first classroom scene that the audience sees. So its important that the classroom is out of control.
I think the first scene could use some more energy. Scene 6 needs to be more crazier. I also thought that when Gail and Salty are taking about Benny Good it would almost be like a little argument.

We talked about how your character moves. This helped me because I had to think about how my character would move her hands and what part of her body she walking from. 

I think Gail wouldn't sit on a chair properly she would slouch on it, she would sit with her legs crossed because she is quit feminine. During scene where the classroom is crazy and all the kids are doing whatever they what she would sit with her legs up on Hobby or Salty's chair. I think this will work well because it will show the audience that the class is not doing what they are suppose to without distracting from the action.
