Over the past few lessons we have been working on scene 1 and 2 and which we finally finished last lesson. We took a lot of time making up these scenes because we did them in great depth and we changed some things we didn't like because the transitions were not smooth enough.
Working as part as an ensemble has been a great experience, We all work together to solve problems and change things in the play (we try not to drop the ball.) We also all have an input in the process of making the scene so we all get a chance to show skills we would like to be used in the play.
So far I believe the scenes are great. Lots of physical theatre has been used to emphasize the lines and I believe it is consistently at a high standard. Some bits I believe we have worked on longer than others so they look a bit better but we will go back to the other bits to make them neater and make sure everyone knows exactly what they are doing.
However there are a few things we do need to clean up a little. Some people still don't know their lines that well, this interrupts the lesson and we begin to lose focus so everyone should know their lines. Also many of our lines are supposed to be said in unison, we need to work more on this because lots of the time people forget so only a few people say the line and other times people say other lines when it isn't supposed to be that line. To improve this I would recommend people to watch the physical script video and also on their own script mark the bits that are supposed to be said in unison.
When these few things are perfected I think scene one and two will be memorizing due to all the action taking place.
