D.N.A Rehearsal

In today's lesson we did a run through. We wore our school uniforms, everything looked really good and in character. The characters that really impressed my were T.J and Sky. They both share the same character 'Richard'. T.J and Sky dressed up exactly the same by baggy school trousers, their shirt tucked in but some of it out, their collar up, tie very un formal and a Yankee hat this is to make the audience understand who is who.

My character Lou wears a school uniform with her hair up neat and tidy, she wears a a hooded jackets. We specifically did this so its easier to see which character is Lou as there is 3 Lou's and as all of us are wearing school uniform it would be confusing. We have also still kept the idea of the Ring, in the scenes all the Lou's have a ring and we always play with it, this is also again is to show the audience that the characters that have a ring and that is always playing with the ring must be Lou. In my opinion, i think when we wore our clothes today it made it easier for me to be in role and to understand the character Lou more. I know this by during my scene i was not only playing with my ring but playing with my uniform, i was playing with my jacket, tie and skirt. But when i was not wearing the uniform it was quite tricky because i only had to play with my ring and focus more on my facial expression and body language.

All the scenes went really well, everyone was in role and were really serious. After, we went for a break and we worked on our opening directions and the character swapping scenes. It was really fun because everyone was enjoying the time listening to 'Pumped Up Kicks'. The swapping character was good and fun, we had to make sure we knew when to change and to do be in role every time, before and after the opening sequence we stand behind the audience and stay in character through out the time and not try get distracted by the music and whats going on on stage.
