Drama: Week Seven

Monday 10th - Tuesday 11th November 2014

On these days we were officially put into our groups for our "Our Country's Good" assignment and were given our scenes.
I am in a group with Katy and Elvina. I play Mary, Katy plays Dabby, and Elvina plays Liz.
We started to get familiar with our scene and to rehearse it over these two days.

Today it was time to perform our fairytale or myth for our storytelling module. 

We were given the first class to add the final touches to our stories, rehearse them, and work with one another to perfect and get them down to that one minute time limit. 

For the rest of the day, we each performed our pieces to the rest of the class and Sharon, and they were also all filmed.

Today we continued doing voice work. 

As usual we did a warm up and practised our articulation, as well as doing vowels, consonants and tongue twisters. 

We also worked in pairs on Shakespeare's "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day" sonnet. 

I was in a pair with Didi. We were given some time to rehearse our sonnet, taking a line each, and were then to perform it for the rest of the class in the style of stand up comedy. 

Some people's pieces were hilarious, it was a fun exercise.
