Rehearsal 3 - 16/01/23

16th January 2024 

What I worked on today: 

My partner and I ran through our scene several times, trying to use our scripts as little as possible. We did some more blocking of the scene as well, finalising some of our movements around the set to create a more certain, familiar feel to the performance. We also decided to add some physical touch to make our performances as husband and wife more believable and naturalistic, and create a more emotional performance by more clearly displaying our relationship.  

We tried to incorporate more pauses in this rehearsal, as we had struggled with it in the previous one which made our performance feel rushed and insincere. I think this decision definitely improved the flow of the scene as the dialogue seemed a lot more naturalistic after the change. 

Any concerns/problems: 

During this rehearsal I struggled with knowing what to do with my hands when performing which creates an awkward feel to the performance, so next rehearsal I will focus on this and attempt to improve it and how I orient myself, so the performance looks more natural.

We tried to focus on relying on our memory alone, whilst still being able to effectively use techniques from Stanislavski's system. I believe this was somewhat successful as I found I had improved in my memorisation of my lines, only making a couple of mistakes throughout the rehearsal, which could be easily rectified through a few more rehearsals or improvising, however due to other rehearsals happening close by it was more difficult to focus, leading to me not being able to incorporate as many techniques as I could have.  We also finalised the lighting we would need for the final performance to make sure we were better prepared, and went over the blocking of the scene again.  Any problems/concerns:  There were not many problems in this rehearsal, and luckily everything generally ran smoothly. I will con...
