rehearsals again!

27 march 2009
blackbox
full attendance
2-3pm
6-7pm (stacy has choir in between)

AGENDA
1) full run through
2) finalise lightings
3) dv discussion

we arrived right on the dot.
stacy brought such a huge cage that we think that it just would not be good to be in the set, fortunately, rachel offered to bring us a smaller cage. YAY!
I broke the wine glass but will bring a new one next monday!
the rabbit was still missing and isaac wanted to buy a more believable rabbit but we still have not decided yet.
i asked Priscilla to bring the trophy to school cause i don't have one=)
reminder, to write stuff on the display board to make it more believable.

there were some changes made to the settings.
first off, mattie's display is now under light 20 and we decided that we need to use the flood lights as we need to be able to see his face, thus the living room setting can now be seen whivh does not add much effects to the presentation scene=(
but what to do?

next, we rehearsed but both me and isaac did not really get into character because of som unknown reasons. Stacy showed us - or mabe let us hear -the sound effects for the applause and the theme music. we went through the play once and some comments from mark on how to improve the lightings and then stacy had to leave for choir!

sooo,
isaac and i did our character analysis as stacy had met up with a senior and told him several tips to improve the play, such as prolonging the scene where ruth comes in with the dead rabbit and such. also, she told stacy that MAttiE's scene actually represents the whole play and the impact has to be there and also stacy added that the sounds of the electronics was sort of to put him back to reality in which his presentation was dreamy surreal.

While waiting for stacy to come back, Isaac emo-ed for a bit to sort out his character's history and we helped the lucky ones with their play by giving comments.
Lights 13&14 got busted for no apparent reason and were felt that we were so screwed. the mood was gone for a while but it picked up.
so, the lucky ones finished of and MARIGOLDS group part 1 came. Hamid also stayed back to help with the lights.

thus, stacy came back and we had the rehearsal again, this time with more excitement and we could get into character. Stephanie gave us some comments and i realised my fits were not good! must practice.

we practised some more and got the lightings fixed(it is with Stacy) and then we decided to stay back and help the other group.

DV

we went into the dressing room to do dv and the agenda was as such
1) character analysis
2)sub-text in which we have to do our motivations and the place we are standing and our actions at each part
3)re-do our crap dv at home
4)meet up after winter's tale to discuss

ok, so
