New Theatre run through

Today we did a full run through in the theatre. I think that we have performed at a higher level than the level we performed at. From this rehearsal we now know what we need to work on.

We need to keep the pressure up on stage. The play has a lot of high pressure scenes and we need to work harder to keep this underlying pressure up throughout the play. We also all need to be louder, as it is easy to get lost in that space. We need to close the gaps in between the scenes, by making the transitions overlap.  By doing this it will create a bigger impact on the audience as they won’t have the chance to dowse off during the performance, we will keep them on their toes. We also need to directly interact with each other and talk into each other a lot more. This means that the scenes will have a whole other dimension to them and will bring each scene to life.

From this rehearsal we found out that the play is about blinding ourselves from the truth of life and how we are all trying to find happiness. Now we know this, we need to show it at a deeper level and relate this to the inner workings of our characters. This run through was very useful as we now know what we need to work on, and we are more used to the space. I feel like in this run through I lost the inner workings of my characters a bit as I was not used to the space. Next time we run the play I think we will have a deeper understanding of the play and now we can start to play around and explore 13.
