Week Review- 17th-20th

This week we worked on running the whole show beginning to end with little mistakes. We did this without scripts which was fun as we were more open with what we would do. This week we also added in music into our piece for example when my character Siobhan becomes Christopher conscience there is a piece of music that goes over the top to signify i'm in his mind and to make more of an atmosphere for the audience. As a group we also worked out different titles we could give to the running order as there are no set scenes this helped us to know the order better and when we needed to speak or move.

This week I worked on my character by learning my lines and going through different scenes in my script and researching how they performed it on west end this helped me to add empathsis to certain bits and using different emotion which really developed my character and how she is as an overall person. 

This week I researched busy London stations this helped to  show the difference between my passerby and Siobhan. This helped me by being able to use different props and the different types of characters that you would fine in a train station e.g police, office worker and tourists so I have to decide which one I want to fit into or do i want to play a variety. I also thought of different ideas to add to different scenes by looking at the photos as they gave me inspiration. This will help to develop the play as it will be more interesting for the eye.

This week I think one of my strengths was knowing act 1 of my script however I need to work on act 2 as the performance is less then a week away. I also think one of my strengths in knowing the running order of the show and know what comes where which is important as we never leave the stage so we are unable to check whats next. One of my weaknesses is remembering my big chunks of narration as they are very long and i have to remember ever detail that they include.

I think that this week we can improve on how clean the performance looks as a whole and work on the transitions between the different scenes as we don't want it to look messy. I also think we need to work on the lighting, costumes and props as these will complete our characters and we need to get the feel for them before the actual performance.
