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!!!!

Rehearsals since the 21st of march

As you can see I have not done a rehearsal log since the 21st march. So I decided to do one to cover what we have done. In these past weeks we have done fear work shops and tulley esc exercise. We have completed out pitches and we personally feel they went really well. We also have a general structure of our piece. Interrogations scenes are strong we just need to make up script for them. And we have came up with a prison cell scene using white tape and ribbon to mark out the prisons and relationships.
