In this lesson we did some character exercises, we then allocated people for certain sections within the show like chorus and then we read through the script.
I found that character exercises were quite hard as we had to walk in character and as Dorothy is a average teenage girl it was difficult to create a walk that differentiated her from the others however eventually I created a walk in which I wanted to be for my Dorothy which was more upbeat as she is determined to meet the Wiz. Once I had my walk and mannerisms for Dorothy it was a lot to easier making decisions on how she would interpret things and situations and how she would show her emotions with body language.
With the allocating the people it worked well as we really thought about the year 13s different strengths and then put them with a group. I have the number Rejoice for this I have the majority of the cast I have many ideas for this number. I really like the Rejoice number not just because its a large group number but as its very lively and largely dance based which is one of my strengths so im excited to choreograph that.
Lastly reading the script was fun and really effective as it helped everyone understand the storyline more fully and get into character more as they could see where their characters were going. I like this version of the Wizard of Oz as it is more exciting and the songs are more sassy, entertaining and modern.
My strengths of this lesson were making decisions, coming up with ideas and characterisation. My weaknesses were my accent and even though I said characterisation was a strength it was also a weakness as I found it quite hard but I still improved throughout the lesson to improve these i will practice my accent going the script a few times a week and do more research on my character.
