This week we looked at roughly blocking the 1st half of the play. As we were all in the room when each scene was being blocked it allowed us to see the play taking shape more, as well as see how others were starting to characterise and make choices on how they were going to be on stage. For me the blocking was useful in performing with the people for the scene for the first time, and understanding the dynamics within that group of people. For example that my character is probably of the lowest status within that group, knowing this will now effect my presence on stage, choosing to enter last or to stand the furthest away. Blocking our scenes also helped with understanding the lines further and understanding the tone and way in which they are said.
As a group the people in my scene also worked separately to understand our scenes further, we 'translated' the lines in our scene to see what each character is contributing and how the dynamics in the group change throughout the scene. We also thought about working with each other to characterise and experimented with different ways of playing our character so we could see what did and didn't work. This was really useful in getting more familiar with our scenes and gaining a greater understanding of it all.
