Wednesday 14th

Ok so again something happened causing a member of out cast unable to attend out rehearsals, but that didnt stop us. Today we tried out 100% best to do a full run without the member who was missing and it went pretty well. Scnene 10 is also not properly set. In the afternoon we were supposed to be performing but unfortunately one of our members couldnt make it, so me alex and david decided we would go into the commen room and try our best to run mine and alexs argument. There were one or two lines me and alex were struggling to remember, but david managed to help drill them into our heads. Tomorrow.....finally......WE GET TO PERFORM

Tuesday the 13th

Due to unforseen circumstances we decided that we would set out exactly where the cells will be marked out and also sorted out our own costumes. This wasnt the most productive rehearsal but we did get two vital things out the way. Tomorrow we will do a full run.

Monday the 12th

This monday we decided our time would be best blocking jack (caesar) into the few scenes he is in. Me alex and harry also went off to ran our argument a few times and re set it into the round and also tried to bring more dynamics and levels into the scene. The schedule for the week was to do a full run on tuesday, trouble shoot wednesday morning and run wednesday afternoon, and the rest of the week would be determined by how the run went.

OH MY BALLS I HAVEN'T UPDATED THIS BLOGGER IN TWO FRECKIN WEEKS!!!!. So lets get this show on the road ;) So overall these past two weeks we have had some extreme up and downs, our piece is finally a strong piece, and we have managed to get all of the interrogations done, we only need to block Caesar into marc anthonys interrogation. We have decided that we will be having 5 cells and a separate interigation room as apose to having a joint cell and interigation room. The whole piece is there now its just rehearsals now, GO TEAM CAESAR!!

Wednesday 24th

Today i missed a massive chunk of the rehearsal due to unforeseen circumstances. When i did eventually get to college, the group told me they had spoke about the fact that we needed to let the audience know more about Caesar. We decided to find a Speech from a powerful dictator and use that as a voice over at the beginning of the piece to set the scene and almost show what Caesar is like. We decided to use an Adult Hitler speech because they are extremely powerful speeches and with a little tweeking, it worked really well.

Tuesday 22nd

We had a really relaxed day. We mainly just decided what we were going to do this week. We worked out what things we needed to work on, and, because some people are missing this week we decided how we were going to work around it.

17th April (Work shop with alex....i loved his hair)

Omg i have put this on the blog so so late, half terms been sick. Anyways, on the 17th we had an amazing workshop with alex. I personally feel this has really helped us to progress the piece and move it along. We also started to realize that in our piece, we wont be using much text atall, the physicality is showing the emotions well enough that words are not needed. Personally my favorite interrogation scene so far is.........insert drum role here........ ALL OF THEM :P:P:P.  Each scene has its own individuality. Octaviouses shows more of the high racky of Cinna, which helps show how powerful she is and force the fact that hes the youngest. The Cassius scene helps us to show everyone's feelings towards Cassius in a very vicious and physical way. Portia's scene is beautiful, It is so so simple, but probably the most affective scene at this time. Mark Anthonys shows his quiet and timid side. Although its needs a little more work it will progress really quickly now as we have a great basis for it. The only interrogation we haven't started yet is brutuses but i personally feel it shouldnt be to hard to come up with an idea as we now have a great vocabulary of work. OMG IDEA PEOPLE!!!! We could recreate the Portia scene (The triangle) and change the intention, so we could have Brutus being scared, cinna nailing him down, and Cassius behind brutus manipulating him into admitting he delivered the final blow. Its an idea, i dont have many, so its  big thing for me.

TEAM WOLVES........ wait this is Shakespeare now........ TEAM CAESAR!!!!
