Contemporary theatre Performance

Wednesday 29th January
Today we looked at a new script for the first time. It's called Scenes from the big picture, its set in Belfast, and the language was quite hard to read at first. We did a read through, but a lot of people didn't want to read. So i ended up reading a few parts. I actually like the script and think i got into it quite quickly. I think the group did well Reading it, and hope we get a chance to perform it soon. I wish we got to perform the full play for a change though.

Wednesday 5th February
Today we read the script again from where we left off. More people read parts, which made it sound much better. I think it was a really good read through, and I want to get a better grasp on what character I'm reading. I like the script, and we have to decide what character we want to read and look into it, I'm thinking of playing Connie, if i can. I'd quite like to challenge myself and double up though, maybe as Teressa. But i think there might be a problem with some of the given directions, such as being groped! I think we can the script off buit might need a lot of work with scenes and props.
