We did a block run of Act 2, and at the beginning of the scene its starts with 'Dizzy' jumping from a platform onto our linked hands. Emily who plays dizzy wasn't comfortable in this stunt so i volunteered to fill in for her. This meant learning extened lines. We also had to make a circus ring out of our belongings and props, we practiced these exits and entrances with putting the props out and away to create slick transitions.
In this scene Ben has a big section where he talks about how days have changed, I need to be more interested when listening otherwise i end up making my own conversation away from the subject. Ben reads out the line, 'Heads down checking iphones and blackberrys'. For this to make sense we need an iphone as a prop, so he is able to communicate and make relationships with us school kids.
Analysis - The blocking went smoothly, and the jump at the beginning is practiced and looks visually pleasing for an audience. We need to form more of a clump around Ben when he talks to us because it creates more of a dynamic impact.
Targets
- Learn lines after each scene is blocked. It will be easier and less pressure
- During the next lesson we are choreographing the jugglings skittles section.
- Research trampets or any staging so i get the best possible height in the jump
