finally acting!

Description: This week we’ve been doing a lot of the acting of the play, we’ve been talking about the titles that can suite the play we are making, and we’ve come up with the title “Shadow Queendom” , which is the perfect title as it is short and sounds like a fairy late, and this play is like a fairy tale. This week particularly I’ve been working on acting, I haven’t act since a long time ago so I enjoyed this “acting week”.

Analysis:  I’ve been rehearsing two scenes, scene 8 and scene 10. I forgot how acting was, in scene 10 I am Mathilda, and I thought this was going to be an easy work to do, but I’ve come up with the problem that I don’t know how a queen walks, talks, and moves. So instead of being an easy work to do, this scene was very challenging. Now I’ve search more about queens and I think I have an idea of a queen now.  This scene is when Deborah is destroyed and Mathilda wins. The rehearsals were very tense and in a way a stress one, especially because in this scene there are little kids, that sometimes it can be very hard to work with them. Also because there is a fight in this scene, and fights are always difficult as everyone has to be doing something and it has to be “in order”.  Apart from this scene we were working on scene 8, in which there are 2 guards (one of them me), and this guards have big puppets, which ive been working on those too, we have already the head of this guard puppets, but we have no idea how the body will be and we only have a month! This is an easier scene as we use puppets and I did know how guards moves and talks.  

Connections: I really want to make a good queen in scene 10, so I was thinking on trying a physical warm up and work in movements that this queen will do. Also for the big puppets, to remember the classes we had about puppets and to practice with the puppets as soon as I have them.

Reflexion, question: what I was wondering, was about the puppets, how are we going to make their bodies?, and would it be easy to do? Because we only have a month…
