Rehearsal Three

Well Done team DNA! rehearsal three was definitely one to remember, being the first run through of the entire play. It was really impressive for the first time doing the entire thing.
The run through allowed me to explore, and take in help with how I should construct my character on stage.

At this stage I haven't made major decisions about the characterization of Danny, but I have made some decisions on my physicality. By looking at Kim's interpretation of the character, I think that the idea of Danny being quite timid but shriveled at the same time. We've decided on what our significant item is to show we are the same character is: a bag full of dental equipment (changed to glasses). We have also decided that we will both wear our hair in a side plait and wear a fringe, assuming it will be more emphatic if we looked similar.

I am on the way to learning my lines!  As I haven't had my script before Christmas  it's been rather difficult learning them but luckily I have friends who allow me to practice with them and their scripts in our own time! Should have them perfect by next week *fingers crossed*.

In terms of the entire run through, like I have mentioned little improvement has been made in terms to getting to know my character, because I am so sure with what I want to do with it anyway!? Also, the plot is so much clearer when it is being acted out, the story line makes more sense and the small things in act three (an example being the plastic bag) are much clearer. Whereas before I didn't understand where it came into context with the actual plot, now I see that it's actually meant to be for us to figure out?!

So far the play looks amazing, the characters that have been assigned to each of us are perfect. Once we learn our lines and pick up the pace, it will look even better!

During the run through, I particularly noticed all three of the Leah's! Even though they all have very contrasting personalities and ways of acting they managed to pull it off perfectly. Even taking into consideration that they had the largest parts, it was obvious that they had put in the most effort with all three of them nearly knowing all their lines perfectly!? By this already on the way to creating their characters in depth, actually very, very impressed!

I've lost my peer assessment sheet, but everyone did really well. The person I observed the most was Kimberly as I thought that it was her who would benefit the decisions I make about the character of Danny.
