For this lesson we looked at the fight scene, we started by talking about the intention of the scene and what are characters would be thinking. I think my character would be very upset,confused and angry because the love of her life has fallen in love with her best friend and now she has no one because she was planning on running away with him.
We thought it would be effective if Lysander and Demetruis are trying to fight to get closer to Helena. I think it works really well when they stand in a triangle far apart, because you can see them clearly and it also builds tension especially when the boys stand opposite each other. I thought it might have been a good idea if Hermia came on from behind one of the seating blocks because this shows that she is lost in the woods without Lysander helping her, then when she find him she runs up and jumps on him. During rehearsal we played around with different ways of movement and fighting. We looked at different lifts we could do, were I was kicking my legs trying to get to Helena but Lysander and Demetruis were protecting Helena. I think this works really well because it shows how chaotic the scene is and also it works well visually because people can see the drama and know what's going on even if they don't understand Shakespeare's language.
