Lesson 9 - 8/10/15

all- participate in run through, agree on synopsis and volunteer for production role

most- contribute ideas towards improvements, describe production role.

Some- Gain strong understanding of production/role and requirements for next stages of rehearsal.

First thing we did was had to create our own suggested synopsis for our childresn theatre piece. Mine was : 

- Dentist

- Dreamland

- Space

- Stoneage

- Back to reality

- Sleep

- Mermaids/Pirates

- Dentist

- Leaving

We then discussed all of our suggested synopsis' and came up with a final synopsis.

Final Synopsis:

- Dentist arrives/ Timmy collected from school

- Dentist treatment room

- Timmy into space to see galaktic football

-  Lands on Caveman Island (star dust exchange)

- Return journey crash in forest(timmy believes, fairies shrink them)

- Pirates steal Timmy/dust and take him on a mermaid mission ( pirates dont know he has dust)

- Timmy helps mermaids and returns to mum

Then once we had done this we discussed our production roles, by discussing i mean chossing what one we wanted to do. The final production roles were:

Props- Max and Rosa

Costume- Olivia and Elliott

Sound- Talia, Megan and Ash

Lighting- Sam

School Liason- Bubu, Jess and Ash

For sound i need to go through our performance with Megan and Ash and block ideas for music in each scene making sure they add the right atmosphere or help highlight the location in which that particular scene takes place, we then need to learn all the cues and run it theough with everyone else.

We then got up and did a excersize where we were given a scenario and then one by one had to do a freeze frame for someone involved in the scenario this helped us develop our add and accept rule as people would have to base there involvement within the scene with what other people were doing. Once everyone was in their places Rachel would say go and the scene would come to life and we had to go with whatever happened. We then were put into pairs and had to do a mirroring excersize i wasnt very good at this as i kept getting confused between copying sam and mirroring him. After this we then ran through our childrens theatre piece but now fitting it to our synopsis, so we started with the Dentist arriving/ Timmy being picked up section, we ran through it once and then went back and refined so we knew when to put the cross cutting in between the two parts and how everyone else slotted in to the scene. Within this scene we have four sections, The dentists room, waiting room, reception and the car. We then decided in the different parts of the scene who would be verbal and who would be non-verbal. Here was the final decisions.

1. receptionists-Verbal

2. Car- Verbal, Receptionists- non-verbal

3. waiting area-verbal, Dentist- non-verbal

4. Car-Verbal

5. Reception- Verbal, timmy@reception- Verbal, waiting area- non-verbal

6. Waiting area- non-verbal

7. waiting area- non-verbal, receptionists- non-verbal, dentist- verbal
