AND IT IS JUST GETTING STARTED!

It's been almost 2 weeks since we stared the rejersals for the school play. In class we've been working on our column and center of energy. Training has to be done every time, it never ends and all this work helps us to get better; so we train every single day we have drama class. It goes from making simple movements to rejersed 'choreographies'.

Now we have to focus on the play and choosing the part of production we want to do. I'll do make-up and be a wife (yay!..) so i'm realy excited. Today we were supposed to make a little lesson for the others, each one of us. So i tried to focus on the voice and the use of the center of energy. Since I have difficulties when it comes to invent noises, I gave the people little quotes from the play. What i forgot was to ask for the IB people to help me with the suppervision. I made several mistakes sush as ignoring when people made something wrong and rushing withour giving the guys time to think about the exploration of their bodies. And most important I have to be an example to the others; i can ask them to do something if i dont give them 'raw materials'. Next time i must lead them in every step to achieve what i'm aiming them to achieve. We are bodiesbut we need to go step by step to make a movement, an action, a scene, a play.

I wonder, how can I improve in my voice and imagination so i can serve as a great example?

  1. good, though you should try to make deeper reflections about the processes and activities, and relate them to the theory we learn in the course

    i want to see more complex thought processes in each entry, arising from a true questioning of the meaning of theatre and its ways of working

    your last question is too open, too general
