Road part 1 research

Lesson 1

we were introduced to our topic of Jim Cartwright plays, We had the option of doing the play 'two' or the play 'road' We had to take into concidoration that experiences from previouse years, e.g. i had done the play 'two' in year 11 as my exam piece therfore there was no need for me to do it all again, I was placed on the play 'road'. Louise has been away previouse to this lesson and still remained absent so therfore purdy and theo were chosen to do'two' and me emma and mollie were doing road. Emma was away for the 1st lesson we were doing a read through, so me and mollie went away into the small room so that we could read through the play and get idea of what we had to perform. This helped as i got a favrouite charicter in mind strait from his 1st line (scullery) he is abit of a peado and trys to chat up all the women. this is quite funny and made me smile as some of the sayings he comes up with are... lets say origional.
After reading through we were told that we were to go away and prepare for a performance in a couple of weeks time. So i cracked on with the research.

P.S

i am unsure how i am going to print all this off

Conclusion

Our play was a major success in bringing something new to this school, it was not a normal everyday performance which i thought was the major attraction about it, it ran so smoothly and there were only very minor hick ups and 1 costume malfunction that couldn't have been prevented. We feel that we did the best we could in the time we had! 2 weeks is a respectable amount of time for what we produced and taking it away we had only several hours in lesson time. We all stuck to our commition and to the contract and stayed after school, in almost every lunch, it was hard going but we got there! We got great feedback from the audience and i feel that we got an educational message across clearly. For a story telling TIE piece it was bang on market to me.

Lesson 10

This lesson was to plan everything out and go through any final preperations needed such as what time to get there etc and how were getting our make up and stuff. After all this we were finally ready to chill.

Lesson 10

RUN THROUGH, RUN THROUGH, RUN THROUGH !

Lesson 9

Putting it to practice, we had done rehersals through the play before but after we had done a run through to both rachel and sarah we had some good idea's that were now taking place. We had a smoother performance to be shown and we were feeling confident of our production. We were now practicing to the music and with the lights in full costume. Doing this made me feel more comfitable in the clothes i was wearing and doing a run through seemed less 'strange' This was the 1st real rehersal that we did we were now to polish the play by just simpily rehersing as often as possible!!
