Week Ten

Monday 23rd November
In today's lesson, it appeared we hadn't really progressed much but we actually had. We went through from the very start and worked out what parts needed to be worked. We were also able to correct small details that needed to be changed because they didn't quite fit. For example, Micheal says he went to a mates party but then when he was talking they had never actually met. It was only small details like these that needed changing but it made everything correct so that if the audience did recognise it then it would help with the clarity of the plot. As we went through it, we realised how many links to Alice in Wonderland we had actually put in. For example, at the party when they are getting intoxicated, life suddenly becomes disjointed much like how Wonderland appears to Alice.

In today's lesson, we were very limited as to what we could do as both Morgan and Jack were away, which left just myself, Katie and Emily. So as much as we had of the script, we went through it to see if there was any details we could add or adapt any mistakes in there. We then discussed different things we could wear that would match what our character says and acts like. I have a blue daisy dress that I am going to wear because we feel it would reflect the character of Alice but also links to what Alice wears in adaptations of the original story because from our research we found out that in many of the adaptations Alice wears ablue dress

Before school, I went to the Drama room to record the voice over for the police station. We recorded it using a Dictaphone because we thought it would be more professional and if I was stood on the side saying the lines then we thought it would distract the audience. Then during our after school rehearsal, we had some friends to come and watch so we could get an opinion from them. It went really well and we ran through from start to finish very successfully and our audience really enjoyed it, which was a real morale booster. In our last rehearsals before our performance, we will make sure we run through from the very start so we know what we are doing and also to improve the pace of our performance.
