Today, as Rachel was not here to lead our rehearsal, We
decided as a class to do a run of what we have so far.
We worked on some blocking that we thought was not quite as
up to scratch as other parts:
We decided that act 2 looked a bit messy, so we chose
positions for us to all be seated/standing in so that the stage picture was
nicer and more comfortable to look at from the audience.
We also did a table read of the entire play, with scripts
only used as prompts. We chose to do this as line learning is the most
important thing in a play like this one, which relies on everyone being completely
on the ball and responsive.
Having a rehearsal without a director was actually really
good for us as we proved to ourselves that we can work responsibly, and not
waste time when not under supervision. We got quite a lot done within the time, and
were really good at respecting each other, not talking over each other and
letting everyone have their input on decisions made. We were also really
respectful and tactful when disagreeing with an idea that a fellow cast mate
had, which is a really valuable skill. So I was incredibly grateful for this
lesson.
