rehearsal 20th of may

In yesterday’s rehearsal we started off with a worm us given by Zoe, this was a good way to start off the rehearsal as it allows us to relax and get into our work fully warmed us reducing the risk of injury to the voice which is the actors most precious commodity. Through relaxing before we work we are practising Stanislavsky's system allowing us to access our characters with a more relaxed and clear mind. After this we moved on to our scripted work and rehearsing our lines and positioning, Chloe wasn't present for this session so me and Lofty just rehearsed the last bit of the script. This was very useful as this is the most emotional section to the piece and will need work so that we can portray the emotion clearly and make a connection with the people watching us. I and Lofty worked on bringing tears to our eyes as quickly and as realistically as possible, this proved to be more difficult than first expected. After a good 15 minutes of attempting this I managed to create a tear and to be hones I was pretty proud of my tear, lofty on the other hand gave up... we will try again next session. I also watched Lauren perform the last monologue which Alison says just to compare our different styles, I noticed that she went for a more angry and annoyed performance where as I go for a more emotional and sad approach, I won’t let this effect the way i work but it was nice to see different ways top approach and interpret this script.
