Updated Actors Process

1. Listen to others on stage - this helps you to live in the moment and not to think about what you need to do next
2. Be open to everything - this creates the freedom to take the play anywhere you want it to
3. Being aware of the other elements of the theatre; props, lighting, sound - this creates a sense of unity throughout
4. Being free with your character - helps you to experiment and learn new things about your character
5. Not repeating your lines in the same way - brings a freshness to the play
6. Know where you are supposed to be and when - helps you and the rest of your cast
7. Being aware of the others in the ensemble - helps your peers, takes care of everyone and brings a unity between you all
8. Learn lines: get off the script as soon as possible to make it as natural as I can
9. Understand the relationships with my character and everyone else in the play

Doing all of these really helped to make the show the best it could be. All of these points, to me, are what make the play as free and incredible as it can be.

Dress #2

This dress went a lot better for me. I felt like I was listening more to my peers and I was more open to change. I felt like we all kept up the energy throughout the whole performance and we kept the pressure cooker high. I was used to the other elements of the performance; lighting, props, sound, so I took them into account and was able to concentrate on the narrative rather than how it looks.

I felt a lot more confident and comfortable with my characters this time around. I was able to concentrate on the objectives of my characters and how they were achieving them a lot more. I felt able to experiment with my characters in this dress run.

This dress was fun to do and I think we all really enjoyed performing this, which made it go really well. It got me extremely excited to perform in front of an audience.
