PUNK ROCK rehearsal period...

Punk Rock rehearsal period; the week of taking to the script was when we got given our characters, after this we looked at objectives (Mike Alfreds)(Stanislavski); so that we could add this to our scene so that we always had something to play, here is list of my short terms (STO) and long terms (LTO) objectives: scene 1 I have two different STO the first being to found Lilly who is he new girl, second is to get out with showing Bennet my true feelings (upset, scene 3 it is slightly harder as my LTO is to have mess about with the two girls but ones again change as I want Bennet to leave Chadwick alone, scene 4 STO is to get rid of the wasp then enough STO is to re-sure William about Loyd , STO again is to stop Bennet again and last a final scene for Tyana is scene 6 STO to re-sure Cissy that she will be fine and ones again changes a William goes crazy killing everyone therefore my LTO is to get out alive.

I found with in my scene that there is not really a lot of long term objectives that I want, as I found by wanting short term objectives give me more to play with in the scene; I suppose that my whole play objectives is to get sixth from over with and to live with Mr Anderson one day.

Scene 1 rehearsal, I found that the two other Tanya's kept it very still which was not something that I wanted to keep to due to the fact when i was in school I would move around to get in with the conversation more. I believe that this fits scene 1 as Tanya pops up randomly when sentence and words during this scene; I also found that by moving in the scene kept it more active. This week was the first time of my character so at first I was unsure how to play her, but after action the script I had more of perporse to be there and an action to play while on stage instead of looking around waiting for my line. 


Scene 3 rehearsal is something I found I little bit hard as I never like doing the fake laugh on stage as I never quite get it, as I think it always sounds wired. This part took me out of my comfort zone at first after going through lines with others in the class during my spear time as made me feel more comfortable with this. This scene is my childish scene by the fact I mess about and chat and gossip with the two girls which is a nice element of the play.

Scene 4 this is the scene where I had the idea when it came to the violet side that is shown with Bennett and Chadwick; the idea that i put across was after the kiss (of chadders and cissy) for Bennett to grab the hair of Chadwick and go to slam Chadwick's face against the table' as it gave the atmosphere for the audience to be on the edge of the chair. The second idea that I had for this scene was the William to pick up and bang/move the table to give sound dynamic to make the scene more active to watch this happens on "I'll kill you for that." . Also this scene is something that i struggle with due to the face that I cant imagine of being scared of the wasp therefore the first time i done this scene is was very mello drama 'a wasp!" ; after a few practice this has improved but I believe there is still some work to do with this. so over the half term im going to get family member to help me with this buy throwing things at me ect to get it correct. 

scene 6 is the scene that I found the hardest due to the fact I have to produce real tears on stage; something that i though I would never be able to do. At the being of the scene I struggle to get the tears to start; after coming to a method that worked for me I manged to it. I started by shorting the amount of times I blinked. Then after Adam said to get the berthing tens you're core muscle I add this in with the blinking and I mange to do this. This to me was a good achievement and one of my best scene by far but still think it needs work so I get tears a lot earlier in the scene.

overall I still believe that I need to work on my projection on lines so that I can be heard at the back of the theater . A challenge I have found during the whole rehearsal period is learning the lines every week for reach scene, but it has given me more freedom with my character when doing a run through.
