Drama rehearsals

The first thing we did in the morning was have a meeting within the group about how we thought we could improve what we had done so far. We took minuits throught the meeting and found that seb didn't feel comfortable speaking through the physical theatre parts and said as an alternative he would make a music track to fit all the different changes of emotion. However so he could do this we had to time the piece so he could get the music changes just right. Personally i liked the idea of giving it music in the background as it would be origional and hopefully interesting to watch. Next we decided that the best thing to do was to move forward in the play and start a new scene. At first our idea was to do a scene while the troubled couple are in a counceling session after been convinced by there son. However the fact we only have three actors in the group made it very difficult as seb who plays the child would have to become the counceler and we didnt like that. Also throughout the scene it was very compact and there wasnt much movement movement in the scene we tried adding thought tracking but nothing seemed to work. So we changed the scene into the child trying to talk to the parent so we could play around with it been more open because personally i think that open drama thats more spaced out is allot better. The piece is only short so we decided that it would be good if we left the piece on a cliff hanger so we could address how they felt that it ended . our last scene was my faveruite as it had the song we wrote in music in it. there were no complecations in this scene and were proud that we had the play finished. After this in the last few lessons we simply perfected everything we had done and got it as smooth as possible.
