Today we had a lunch time rehearsal which went really well most people showed up and we only got through 1 scene but we did that one scene really well and we perfected it we all met in are theatre room at 1:30 and started setting up are scenery and we went throught the whole thing.

earthquakes in london-

common ground year 13s i went to see this show and i thought it was amazing and i loved it so much the staging was amazing so simple and the setting with the white boxes and they did show the images and projections i found this was really interesting and effective i aslo loved the acting it was so natural and this was really good to see because DNA is naturalistic.

the play is about 3 sisters and there lives i fought all the actors were really good and they all worked well together. i would definitely see it again. 

Welcome to theebes-

i went to see this show and i thought it was really good and very abstract and also interesting.

At the beginning of the play i was quite confused but near the middle i began to understand it and i really enjoyed it.

I went to see the year 13s common ground shows and the first one i went to see was Ann Boleyn.

i really enjoyed this show because of the epic characters and it shows how important our phisical theatre lessons are and i also really enjoyed the beginning because they are using the same techniques that we are using in DNA there were 6 ann's so the beginning was showing all the Anns doing there movements to show they where the same person it was really effective and interesting because we can now see what the audience sees when looking at us.

Targets for next lesson-

Know who i am talking to and what is the purpose of my line.

Know my lines fully by heart.

Be aware of my surroundings and what is going on around me in the scene.

This rehearsal was really positive but the LINES are still haunting us so that is something to work on for all of us. 
Me and Alex started are into very long but after we spoke to miss we realised that the piece had to be shortened and we chose the section were we use mouth wash and spit into the grass which is going to be around the edges of the audience. And we added in a section where are hands touch and we swap places it is more effective to really show that we are the same character.

We have decided together that we are going to wear uniform and wear it very neatly to show that are character is very 'geeky'. The mouth wash it are prop and it is there to show how crazy we are for are teeth are characters change over is that i meet her in the middle of the stage and i finish her plat and take the head band out of my head and put it in her hair to show are character change over.

from the way me and alex have portraid the character i want them to know she is almost an out cast of the group that amperes to be nieve but it much stronger then her exteria.

Are prop is the hair tie so the way it is used through out the whole play and it is small but efective . 

This photo graph i when ursula and ben are doing there lines together and i have to react of what they are saying without saying anything using my body language and facial expressions to indicate my emotion. I this scene we are all being told by mark(ben) and jan(ursula) what happend to Adam so i was maintaining being shocked and confused angry and scared all at once.

In this photo it is not long after the scene before but this is when mark(ben) tells us about how adam dies and the thing i like about this scene is how different all the characters react so there is a divers range of emotions making the scene more dynamic.

This is another view of the picture before it is around the same time. where you can see the emotions of the other characters as the story is being told.
