Review of 13 Rehersals

I feel that the rehearsals so far are going well, in that we are getting through a lot of scenes. But at the moment I don’t feel like there is enough detail within the scenes. Also lines are an issue, and I feel like everyone, including myself, needs to know their lines and cues better. The focus could be higher, but I feel like as an ensemble we are working well together and that we are all equally as excited for the play and its meanings. At the moment the play does not flow, it feels like a lot of little scenes put together, so this is something we need to work on. Now that we have got through all of the scenes we can start to put in the little details and practice the whole play (so we can get a better, more thorough understanding of 13).

The set looks very impressive and mirrors our interpretation of the play well, but I am worried about how complicated it may be. With practice I think the set will support us well with conveying the themes and meanings within 13.

The costumes mix with 13 perfectly; they are all very simple and natural looking. This means they won’t detract any attention away from the play but will add something to it.

So far I feel that rehearsals are good but they could be better. We have a great base for our play and I think we will all add in our own little details to make it better. I am very excited to see where we take this production next.
