Ensemble -Thursday 11th December (Updated)

                   Ensemble.

Ensemble  is when everyone is invloved   in the play. Actors and Actress play a equal part when peforming.        

The whole play was my favourite part. All of it was an enemble and it really worked well but my favourite piece was the pub scene as it was fun to peform and looked good to audiences  watching.

                    

To make the ensemble work we all had to focus and the timing had to be right for it to work.    

Creating Tale 3 and the start of Tale 4.

                                                     Creating Tale 3 and the start of Tale 4.

TALE 3

• How have we decided to stage Tale 3? 
• What characters do you play in this tale? 
• What is the atmosphere of Tale 3? How is this different to what we have created for Tale 1 & 2?

1.  We decided to stage Tale 3 as all the boys are  in a line with stools starting with a mexican wave type thing. Then we sit in the stools and stand round them and the girls join us and drink with us. Then when London Calling starts (Chorus)  we drink in slow motion then afterwards we cay on with the first line of the tale.  We set up a Mini Bar. and people around it can do things like; Stacking Cris, Playing darts etc..

The Character i play is one of the many loud, proud cockney geezah who enjoys a good drink and darts, I have a few lines nearer to the end of the tale.  

Atmosphere of Tale 3 is so diffrent as everyone is quiet in Tale 1 and 2  whereas in Tale 3 everyone is loud, happy and you can feel the difference in scenes. 

TALE 4

• How have we decided to stage Tale 4? 
• What characters do you play in this tale? 

1. We decided to stage Tale 4, when Tale3 ends, Connor and others that are behind the bar put a mini couch for me infront of the bar ready for me to sit.     As i'm sitting there, The others in the scene create a road for Nina as she crosses the road with Jamie.  I play the dad who wants cigarettes left right and centre. My Role is to get angry with Nina for not brining back his fags. I felt i did a pretty good job at shouting at her. 

Starting Monologues

So start of this term we set out to start our individual monologues for (maybe) start of the show in the next term. Chris the teacher put us in 2's and told us to direct each other on how to perform our monologues. It was interesting to see other people's monologues and how they are so different to mine. I did a monologue on how a taxi driver comes across an terrorist attack  while on his shift. I was working with Lloyd and because we work well together it was fun.  We both directed each other on how we should say a line or how we should sit. We wasn't to bossy to eachother but  loved the fact we could be a little director.  When we got to perform I just remembered what Lloyd told me and I was good. 

After the performance I felt a bit disappointed so was Lloyd if I can remember correctly. We messed up and that's what kind of stuck in our mind.
