Rehearsal 4 - 23/01/24

23rd January 2024

What I worked on today:

Today my partner and I ran through our scene several times, trying to look at our script as little as possible to make sure we had our lines memorised. I believe this went well during the rehearsal, however we were less successful in remembering them during our tech rehearsal later. 

We also had our first tech rehearsal, where we received feedback on what went well and what we need to improve in our performance, so we had time to alter things before our final performance. In addition to this, we finalised the blocking the movement and set placement in our scene. 

Any problems/concerns: 

We found that during the performance we kept forgetting lines from our script, and whether this was from lack of preparation or anxiety this showed we needed to practice more without our scripts. 

I was also told that I need to project more, so I plan to practice raising my voice so the audience can hear me better. 

I also was unsure about what to do with my hands during the performance, so I will need to figure out different positions so my performance does not look awkward, such as crossing my arms or putting my hands behind my back, or gesticulating more to create a more natural feel to my performance.
