Today, We done a run through and blocked the WHOLE PLAY!!
We have decided:
- On our blocking for each scene
- Where we want the audience for each scene, do we want them standing around? Or sitting in the lecture theatre?
- New scenes, nearly all of us have written, are writing or adding to a scene for the play.
- No scale electrics to explain Synapsise, as it was broken, but a lovely idea..
- Do we use the doodle bug? I think it was decided that it wouldn't explain it very well?
- How and when Henry gets transformed from young to old, how the audience know....
- We have added in scenes that explain, relationships, science bits, family...
- Decided what voiceover we are using
- What else needs to be recorded
- Music????????
We were in the theatre for an hour...... So we were able to work with the set (Which is AMAZING!!), and get a really good idea of the space we are going to have to perform in... how much room we will have to move the audience around with. Also being able to use the AV screens abled the doctors to mark out, When, How, Where and Why they are going to be moving the screens... To move audience? To hide something? For shadows?
Also, most of us felt that being in the space made us more excited and optomistic about the performance...
Some felt that the show lacked energy... Because of the characterisation? Because of the script? Because of the way the story is being delivered?....
We all feel that we need to work on characterisation and really bring energy and truth to our characters...
What the actors need to do???
- Learn lines!!
- Email the new scenes to Vanessa this evening!
- Work on characterisation
- Remember the blocking
- Work on our Projection... Otherwise the audience will not hear us, and what we are saying will be lost...
Thanksss......
Ria :)
