Lesson One
In this lesson, we recapped Alibaba, then split up. Most carried on with Alibaba and Arnold, Bradley, Daniella and I went away and recapped what we'd done on the prologue, then started blocking The Warning.
In this rehearsal, I explored the utter desperation Dinarzad would be experiencing as she watched her sister being dragged off by the executioner. I experimented a lot, trying to move freely around the space, getting in between Daniella (Shaharazad) and David (executioner) to push them apart.
I am a great believer in method acting, so I tried to think how I'd feel and the movements I would make if one of my brothers were about to be hurt or killed, which helped a lot.
My strength in this lesson was the amount of thought I put into my character to make her more real to me and the audience.
My target is to try and do this in every rehearsal, and in my own time, by doing some independent research.
Its great to read how you used some of the techniques explored in class and applied this to your rehearsals and used it to develop material for the performance.
