Week 6 Greek (2nd-6th)

Blog 6:

This week was kind of the same as week 5 as we began by running Act one, it was hard as people had forgotten what we had done the week before as they never wrote any notes for it, so this began to annoy people within the group it was also annoying as people still had not learnt there lines therefore we could not improve any scene we had porously done.

The first scene we began to look at was the scene where the chorus come in from the side one by one; this scene was the main issue as people forgot how they were using their voice and what came next so after Karen left we had to work as team to get it done again and work on how we were all individual speaking the lines as I am saying my line ‘so the queen detested, by god and the dead’ as if I am telling a story to little children will being really sycatsic. After 10 minutes the scene final re-worked itself back to what we had. So that we had more of purpose when we walked the whole group walked around the room, I walked as if I was looking for something with a high status as I felt that’s what my chorus character would when playing with Electra or the audience mind; due to if someone looks like they can lead people will tend to full for insurance that they will found their way. 

During voice we worked through an animal workshop some theatre company’s use to this before every show to help build the actor into their character; when I did this I found two animals that I thought would represent Helen Tory the best, my first being a snow leopard and second being a Chameleons lizard.

Why? Let me just tell you…

 so in this picture i think that the snow leopard looks beautiful,stunning and graceful as the the unique patten, how blue the eyes are really helps with this; they stand out the most with the black and white patten. 

where in this picture; you see more of the evil side and not so gracefully i found this was usefully for my character as Helen is always there ready to fight back.

so the reason why i also decide to have a Chameleons lizard as my second choice of animal is because it can camouflage when its believes is in danger; i just felt that it would be a good animal for Helen because she is always looked upend for being beautiful, as she is Zeus daughter and therefore she can not always feel conferrable within her own skin.

here is the lizard camouflaging.

during movement we finally worked out what we during the sense when Connor is Oristieas; it was not hard as i to the group how i felt because everything was taking longer the it should of done, Kirsty also agreed with me; i felt that the group listened after and we managed to get it down within 30 minutes.

so within this scene we diced that we would be in a press comfortance and the main chorus would do the talking as we felt that it was fair, i then came up with the idea of sway when charlie acts that she swelling the baby, as we found that it add more of effect and making just more interesting to watch.
