First of all congradulations to Tasha, who did some of her finest work on Monday’s class. I don’t know whether it was Mr Aiyapan’s presence but it was the first time I saw her in the zone and really relaxed. Really good work done by all the cast that day. It was great to see people focused and really listening to what Lisa was saying. I think perhaps it was because Mr Cooper wasn’t there that people felt the need to pull together and be self disciplined rather that having someone else do it.
Rehersing is so much easier now that we have learnt our lines!!! congratulations to everyone on doing that. The flow and rhythm starts to happen and all of a sudden poeple are in their characters and we are rolling through scenes. It can be very annoying when people forget their lines which is why I would like to say sorry for Fridays class where I was all over the place.
Thank you to Mr Cooper who has started a lighting design which will really help Beth and I along because at the moment we are a little unsure about how exactly we should go about it. I have been reading through some books about theatre lighting so I can understand the angles and volume of lights to get the desired effect for our show.
Can I make a suggestion that all cast, including myslef, read over the script to remember blocking for memory scenes because at the moment that is what is missing and is a huge distraction during a scene when you realize your in the wring spot.
