RESTORATION BLOG

Workshop - The first look into restoration was a short workshop to do with the movement and the manners, during this workshop we tired on the dresses and how the more lace and longer the selive on the arms  on the arms the richer you were for the girls were for the male it was all about the cover muscle.
 The picture to the right shows a dress with long sleavs and lace therefore the type of women that
would wear this would be better off, compeer to someone that wore a dress with short sleavs and no l for example...( the bottom one ) - even though the one is the bottom lovely it would not be seen on the one with a higher class. 
I found learning this help with the mannerism as when researching my character it will help to learn the class and the costume studied for her.

When exploring the walk and the different way to sitting, his was fun but however hurt as using muscles to that are not used today, the back was straight, with hand to one side or by done the side with parm open. also  when meeting with some one also to bell as it is consider polite. Also the women would also carry a sexy look to them with their eyes and how they would glance. 
 A could example of the walk would be from the film wild child...
 (video coming soon- Herriet entry to the dance as mrs Darcy).

this workshop is key as it allows me to apply more to my character with the manners and movement allowing me to connect.


Week 1 Script - Double dealer written by William Congreve 

With the first week of the script we done a read through, that allowed us to get a view of the characters and the different relationships. In the spear time I don't relationship trees that i could keep up with how to act when in scene of people . ..

here is a picture as evidence of the tree I put together 

when finishing the run through of the script this tree allowed acknowledge of the play plot  and helped  with language; therefore this has given me an upper hand with understanding and starting my path  of my character as it has allowed me to annotate  my script with actions and objectives. 

Week 2 - BRING TO THE FEET 

Week 2 was just running through each scene and bring to the fit, even though we hadn't reach my scene, we still done the pro log and during the lines that i say, i found some of the diction have dropped and articulation due to be lazy, so this will be key to push during this and to really work on.
