Today we spent more time rehearsing our scenes from Our Country's Good.
We performed for one another in the theatre, and each received feedback from Shauna, who used to do the course which we're on.
This is the feedback she gave me:
- Good physicality
- Good diction
- Work on projection
- Add more "oomph" or sass to role
- Good at staying grounded
We also gave one another feedback, and this is the feedback I received from other students:
- Work on emotions and facial expressions
- Put more energy into it
- Work on projection, as Shauna said
- Perhaps play Mary a bit more annoying?

Today we worked with the second years all day, it was cool.
We did some improvisation, working in small groups and all starting out with the line "I need to change this lightbulb". It was interesting to see the different ways everyone went with just that one line.
In the afternoon we rehearsed our scenes, and those who wanted to could perform for Rob and be critiqued and and given further direction from him.

Today Sharon wasn't in so we had self directed learning time. We played some improvisational games as well as rehearsing our scenes.

Today we did more voice work.
We did a warm up as usual and did some tongue twisters for our articulation.
We also practised doing sight reading, and looked at the principles of it and tips on how to do it successfully. We also did an exercise where people could volunteer to go up and read out a short piece of writing for the rest of the group, having never seen it before.
Before we finished and went to self directed learning to rehearse our scenes, we were each given the chance to read out the first two lines of our chosen poem, and Rob gave us as much feedback as it's possible to from only hearing two lines!
