Week 7 - Thursday 28th April

Today we got given our timetable for next week as we tech runs and plots etc. This has made me realise how soon the show which is quite scary as there is still a lot more detail I think we need to add.  I thought this would make us have a really productive rehearsal and we would run the whole second half this wasn't the case. We only got through two scenes, even though there is ensemble for these two scene there still is no excuse to why we only got this amount done and it is shame and we have no one else blame but ourselves.

Having said this I do feel more confident on the two scene we did.  the two scenes we did was after the second Haka and the end scene. This is the scene where I am Goth soldier and I am happy that we went over this scene because after seeing the theatre I am starting to work out how I can add move my body in the space. For example , at one point I have to help tie up Aaron but what I need to start thinking about is how would an Goth tie up Aaron because before hand I would just run and help tie him. For this I think I am going to think about the animal is a hyena and the Laban movement of slash so I can start to explore my character of a goth. 

In the last scene I am a roman soldier and I am finding it hard to connect to when Lavinia dies. I think it is because I am soldier who I think would be strong and use to seeing death and therefore wont cry. For scene to work I think I may need to look at how I connect to me playing Marcus and how I connect to Lavinia.

Overall, I did find this rehearsal helpful however the class could of definitely got more done and as we only have one week left of rehearsals we need to start focusing more.
