Today we looked at the opening scene as our production has cast members sharing parts we decided to do a key set of movements that relate to our character also at the same time setting the scene for the characters during the tempest that is being summoned by Prospero. Consequently this therefore gives an incite and paints a picture for the audience to recognise the feelings that are going through each character.
we then appear on stage in groups appearing in this order-
Prospero
Miranda
Caliban
Boatsmen
The royals
Spirits
To create our individual sequences we devised a set of five movements which we were then to repeat as apart of a cast ansoumble.
my sequence was:
- stagger to the right
- stagger to the left
- pray standing
- pray on knees
- fall to the right and stand
The next section of the opening scene is the mainlanders boat during the storm for this we continued with our sequences to the bring it more to life by moving freely across the boat. here we then established roles and positioning originally I dealt with my characters emotions without interaction this after some thought wasn't right so the choices I made in this scene were to go over to Alonso (king of Nepal) and panic with him showing the spoilt and pampered side to my character.
to then enhance the scene we have incorporated sudden wave throws from left to right so it looks like the boat is in really rough waters this again when done with full effort and belief brings the scene alive.
Things I need to improve for the next rehearsal:
learn lines from pages 1-10.
make bolder character choices in the storm scene .
incorporate the voice more into tempest scene to bring the storm to life.
interact more with other characters.
Rehearsal 2
notes for video: worked my first section of script with Miranda individually ran second scene with Miranda my interpretation was poetic and how that changed.
what I need to improve on
what I need ready for my next rehearsal
today i worked and blocked my first section of script that i had with Miranda. this rehearsal for me proved, showed and taught me a lot about my own interpretaional views on Shakespeare that being its best performed naturally and not through a poetic sence thus showing that the words are easier to understand from an audience perspective and thus can create more meaning.
Therefore my understanding of ferdinad has braudened and i have now from the first section of text realsied that he is much more arregant and posh thus creating more understanding around my objectives.
the things i need to improve on therefore are to focus on my objectives and my chracters thought process. what needs to be ready for next rehursal: i need to continue to learn opening scene and first scene with miranda.
Rehearsal 3
today i looked and blocked my second scene with miranda my main focus was to see where my chracters emotion had taken him in terms of miranda. following my thoughts on the previous rehursal ive learnt to react how i would in the situation that my character is in to create a more natauralistic feel and reaction to the chracter this therefore higlighted to me the sexual tension between both miranda and ferdinand and again the historical views of the time (no sex before marrige).
epecially in this scene i need to look at my objective to follow and attract miranda.
to improve on this rehursal i need to again look at my objectives and look at certain phrases and lines that i can play the innuendo and atrraction towards miranda
by the next rehursal i need to insure ive learnt my lines for this section and i also have a full anlysis and understanding of the text.
