Devising: Day 30

We began our last full week of rehearsals with a run through of what we had to the class and our teacher so that we could make or he offered any small adjustments to our piece before the performance. One of the main weaknesses in our run through was the transitions from scene to scene. We hadn't really focused on transitions before not really knew what we were doing, so the change over from each scene looked messy.

However, the core of the performance was there, and seeing as we had been without one group member for the last two weeks, we were in a decent place ready for him to come back. All that was really required was to learn our lines, and make sure that our conversation scenes flowed fluently, as a normal meeting would. I think that aspect would come into play any more prominently once we know our lines, which are beginning to take shape, occasionally we go a little off script which works rather nicely.

After an hour or so, we switched and were sake I watch the other group run through theirs as they watched ours. However, I saw this as an opportunity to get more planning done. Whilst watching (and I promise that I was) I conjured up a small lighting plan for our missing group member to plot seeing as he loves lights so much.  I think the piece is slowly starting to get there. Although I am a little nervous and worried about it not being ready. I think we took a little too long with the scripts, but I suppose the main focus on our piece was to create quality dialogue. It's different from what I'm used to. We've created movement pieces so many times in the past that creating actual dialogue that is sophisticated is rather hard. I hope the quality of our writing is shown.
