In this lesson, we finalised out beginning and end so that they are clear for the whole group. Last week I thought that because our audience will be coming from the Syria scene, that before they enter, there would be an announcement saying "thankyou for flying with Emmeritz airlines we hope you enjoy your stay" and because they follow on from us to the Camp America scene, our ending will be "The next flight to Florida will be leaving in one minute, if you would please make your way to departure gate 418".
Their piece is also in room 418 and we thought that would be a nice detail to include even if the audience do not notice it. In the lesson we wrote the scripts we would use for the voice overs. We then worked on the opening few minutes and neatened them up, having one of our teachers and fellow cast members as audience members. This really helped to properly envisage our ideas for the final performance.
Amelia led an activity of creating a soundscape ourselves in the moments leading up to when I steal the oranges from Aarons stall. It worked well and we have decided that we may incorporate the idea in out final performance. This would mean that we would be including visual, audio and naturalistic techniques in our performance.In the lesson, Lili gave us some relevant poems which she had found. We are going to have them copied and hand written and stuck onto the wall.
As directors, Amelia and I have decided that we will try to have another out of lesson rehearsal so that we can spend more time on our scene and there are also individual parts which need extra time to devise and direct, so we will have individual rehearsals for them. I think that the issues that have occurred over the past week may have lost us some time, however, after they were resolved, the group overall worked a lot more efficiently.
