Today, we just
spent the lesson running lines and going over sections of the play which we
needed to work on the most. Lauren, Maisie, Amber and I decided to work on our
scenes because we needed to learn our cue lines as this play relies on snappy
responses and maintaining the pace, for it to be effective and enjoyable. This
is because the script is built up of lots of smaller lines from different
characters rather than main chunks of text, so it is important to maintain a
good pace so that the scenes to not lose energy and are not uncomfortable for
the audience to watch.
Elle and Mel worked
with Tim, who will be playing the drums for our performance. They worked out
the drum beats for various points of the play such as Angels drum beat, the
drum rolls for our tricks and the Gang’s Rap in the second act. This meant that
we could start working with the drums early in rehearsal, and Tim was aware of
what was going on, early in the process, so we could make sure that everything
fit.
