Performance Workshop

My group decided to come in early to run lines. This gave us the chance to talk about some new idea's we had and see what we had to work on and what scene's we knew of by heart. Previously we had been given feedback to add some dimension to the end scene. I decided that it would be a good point to add an imagine of a soldier in heaven when Kol says 'And I have a terrible feeling' During the lesson we then played about with different ways of staging this and communicating it to the audience.

When the showed back a few scenes to the class and received some feedback. We were told that we should change positions so that me and Megan where facing towards the audience in our first scene. This makes the audience more involved because they are in the middle of the action between 2 rival army's. We were also told that we should lift Fran up higher so that the audience could see her easily.

We also added more choreography onto Nothing. Our group had to recreate a car using our bodies. After trying a couple of different ways we decided that it would be more effective to have Lucy and I at the front of the car being the engine and the rest of the group make the body of the car. I think this way was better than our previous way because it look more like a car and also is easier to get in and out of.
