This Week we worked on creating the Battle section of our Piece. To represent the battle we are using the idea of the soldiers going 'over the top' and exiting the trenches to enter battle. We have also separated the French and English to show the clear divide between the two sides. I think in this section it is vital we all implement what we have learnt about how men walk and the physicality of soldiers we have developed. As i think this will help massively in creating the atmosphere and realness of what we are trying to portray.
This image shows the moment of the men going 'over the top' that we are representing in this section.
The ending of this section, where we become hurt or wounded is definitely the part we need to work on further. For me I'm unsure of how to represent what has happened and its something i need to develop physically in rehearsals.
We used the rest of the rehearsal to block the remaining half of the show and clean what we had already worked on, as my character isn't in this half i observed 3 people acting instead.
Doing this was helpful in learning from what others are doing and seeing how i can implement into my work what they are doing well in theirs. For example Naomi was always engaging in a scene as she remained in Character and reacted to what was happening around her. Showing she have a strong sense of what she and others were saying.
