In today’s theatre class we started the lesson by a warm up consisting of ‘Shake it out” and a round of Shakespeare SAH. Then we set off to our groups, for our final double class of working on our duologues. Today my group covered blocking and we pretty much had our lines memorized. We practised it over and over, adding new details as we went. Mr Patterson and Brit came past to critique our work. Some things they said we could approve on are that we (doctor and maid) shouldn’t stand so close to Lady Macbeth and to be more confident with lines. Once we had practised over and over again, we fled in search of a candle prop. We found something perfect in the prop room, it was a perfectly old fashioned candle. Then we practised our performance in the theatre space to make use of where we will actually perform. Then we headed to the costume room in search of a maid costume, a doctor costume and a Lady Macbeth nightgown. Even though Mr Patterson said that costumes are compulsory, we feel as though costumes but us in character and help add status to a character. We performed again and again, then Mr Patterson and Brit watched us again, and made to observation that the maid and doctor shouldn’t link arms at the end, and that we should have different levels on stage for our different characters.
