Thursday 28th January

In today's lesson we started by looking at which staging we wanted for our performance. We first started discussing about having it in the round but we decided that for this sort of play we didn't want all facial expressions to be seen at all times. So we decided we could do it as a square with no back side but shorten the side lengths so even if we are further forward in the stage that the audience around the edge would be able to see what is going on. Once we had decided on the we went on to running through the beginning of the play and starting to get to know our characters and how they work best. So we work shopped ideas trying to add sarcasm into character and for my character I wanted to make her as sweet as possible so that when the audience found out what she did they would be shocked. We also sat and discussed how our characters could be differentiated in order to make our play more interesting. I decided that I wanted to make Rose have her head in the clouds as this will help get across the idea she it intelligent but doesn't think before she speaks because of the drugs.
