Time table of rehearsal we did for the week. / Ideas for my scene

Monday-    Where i had been off ill last week i had alot to catch up on. But while i was at home i managed to plan all my scene and what i wanted to direct in that scene and what i wanted to create. By planning all of this i managed to come in on Monday and go over what i wanted to create in my scene. 


SCENE1 - Suicide opening scene

What i wanted to  create was a really intense scene with no talking so we could capture the audience straight away and hook them in. I wanted them to be confused with what is happening or what is going on.  There is no talking through out the piece until i found a poem that we put together for beth to say. (HERO). 

Order of how the scene goes: 

• SET SCENE IN TRAIN STATION (WAITING FOR A TRAIN COMING DOWN THE STAIRS)   MAYBE CHAIRS PLACED or STANDING ( LOCATION WILL BE IN THE RECEPTION ON THE STAIRS TO THE LIBRARY).
• George and beth will enter from the top set of stairs rushing down. George enters first on the last step mad and in a rush and looks at his watch. Then we see beth enter worried and scared grabbing his shoulder but George pushes her off and they carry to the last step.
• They then pause and george faces the audience but beth will either be sat on a box or standing holding onto her bag tightly. (BAG IS A KEY IMAGE CARRIED THROUGH OUT THE PIECE) 
• Then beth will make three hand journeys up and down her shoulder and round her neck using a breath. They get faster each time really showing this scene is building up to something.
• George will push beth away each time removing her hand from her. Then on the last bit george will grab her wist and pull her down. 
• Beth will turn to the side not looking at the audience and make her way down the stairs. 
• Each step she takes she will do our MOVEMENT PLAN. Which the movement plan we are doing this throughout the piece. It was what we created when we had the time with alex. Little movements relating to the 5 stages of greif. Different symbols or movements relate to a key word creating a image.
• Beth takes each step doing a movement not looking at the audience and a poem will be said pre-recorded and the scene will match with that.
• Then beth will grab onto the last post and will glance at the audience then lets go with one arm then drops down the stairs to show she has died. We will throw red cloth. George will freeze standing up reaching for her with a pause and a breath and will be holding the bag.
• PART 2 OF SCENE ONE- Newreporters will then enter from the main enterance to take the audience off the scene and it will just be a lady with a microphone walking past with people walking round with posters of the suicide.  Will either get students from year bellow. 
• THEN WILL GO INTO THE SCENE AFTER THAT.

ANOTHER IDEA OF WHAT I AM WANTING TO ADD TO THE PIECE;   Maybe instead of there been a newsreader we could choose some of the year below students to be in the audience then they break off at the side and each do the movement piece while doing it they all say a piece about details the suicide  

TUESDAY-

We went over Amy directing scene the canteen where everyone meets and you get a sense of what everyone is like and what character is what. This is where we also get introduce to what sort of relationship Beatrice and bendedick have.  Also we see  Claudio is a bit crazy and a spell will start to be said.  To show that HERO DOES RANDOMLY effect people and go into there minds and messes with there minds too. She controls this hotel. 

We have a script that Amy wrote we went over the script and the key words of what we will be saying and how we will be entertaining.I really need to work on what my character is like and how to get that across to the audience. We also set the scene that it is a hotel that they are in.  

WEDS = Focusing  ON BETHS DIRECTING SCENE BEDROOM 

This is where we see a different side to HERO and she is controlling and wanting to get Claudio back but he is wanting to get away from her. We see how controlling she  is and this is a multi played role of different HEROS will put paint onto CLAUDIO on every part of his body trying to get him back. The scene will start with Claudio on the bed and each hero will be on the bed and does a dancing part and then gets up and the other HERO will come and put different colour paint onto his body.  Then once they get off the bed they will do the movement piece and wait until amy is back and we will come back onto the bed and will each for CLAUDIO and pull off the strings off of him . AND Claudio will then insult HERO and one by one they will remove there self off the bed and do the movement again. Then when we jump onto other his body and using breathing and then will be pushed off by George and fall to the floor.  Need to make this more sharper on the movements and knowing what we do.  This would be in the blackout pods. 

Thursday=   GOING OVER GEORGES BEDROOM SCENE 1 DEPRESSION SCENE

George has worked out a monologue to say while beth as hero will be acting to the words he will be saying . We have QUE lines for when she needs to react of what they say. This will be placed in the blackout pods and we are going to divide the doors into three different sections so its like different things going on and its spilt. There will be  bed in the other room.  How we are going to enter the audience is we will lead them in the other heros we will draw the curtains back and then move forward so the audience will have to move back  and then sit down and wait for the piece to start. Beth will be looking around in the room and will react off george. This bit needs to be sad and a heart moment where we see HERO ASHAMED of what she has done and she just wants him back .  We need to work on this scene a bit more of when this scene ends and how we will let the audience out. 

Friday= BINGO SCENE.

I need to be plotted into this scene of where to enter and exit of the scene. We have a dance that we do for the bingo scene and the music and then a crazy bingo lady enters which will be me. We need to plot me in and we need to work on how we are going to place the audience in the hub. This will be in the hub. When we have more clear ideas of how we want the scene to be we will write up more information.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO NEXT TIME : 

1. Make sure we block and plot each scene/ What we want to show to the audience or how we want to make the audience feel. 
2. Need to over transitions and plan how we will move each audience to each scene. And make sure we know when the scene ends.
