rehearsal for performance
We where given individual task to help with the deviced piece, i was the stage manager/ script editor and James was the rehearsal time manager which meant that he had to make a rehearsal schedule, below is a copy of the schedule ;
As a group we decided what part of the piece we wanted to work on and what we really needed to focus on the most during rehearsal.
on Tuesday the 8th of may we had three hours of rehearsal and for the first hour we worked on the train sequence and figured out the eight counts we did this by going over the counts so that everyone understand it we then implemented our individual eight counts move to the ensemble count to make it work.
in this rehearsal we struggled a bit because we didn't like the way the scene was looking even though everything was in sync so we decided that there was no precision in the movements, so we made it robotic like and added the sound and it was so much better. so we decided to keep rehearsing it the way we made it at the end because it was so much better and it helps us set a scene for the train scene monologues.
For the next hour of our rehearsal we decided that the train sequence has been improved so we did one more run of it to see if there was anything else to work on but we thought it was okay so we moved on and worked on the Grenfell scene where we decided to work on the precision of each movements with the intentions and the pace / rhythm of it because we felt that the pace was too slow and it felt like the scene was dragging.
we firstly worked on each movement in the scene and we worked on it and made sure the moves where precise and in sync, however we worked on the intentions by using the imagery and the feelings we got from the incident itself to help us spark an emotion in other to have a true intention. so its more believable and it wouldn't just sound like plain words.
for the last rehearsal hour we just did a run through and made sure there was no mistakes and that everyone knew what they were supposed to do and how.
