We all felt that the Britney scene needed the most work today as it is the longest scene in Dissocia. The scene itself is very demanding as it relies on pace and fast transitions between movements and moods. For example, in parts of the scene, the content requires those involved on stage to be running around at a level 7 state of tension around Lisa as she is having a mental break down moment.
Compared to last week, everyone has improved on learning their lines and it was evident when rehearsing of this today however we still remain to need to do more work on this. As a class on the whole regarding the delivery of line, we all need to be more confident that we are correct with what we are saying as this will allow the scene to flow better than it has been today.
Something that particularly stood out today that went well was the ending the act two, involving all of the characters on stage surrounding Lisa and suddenly, all the characters charge off stage in to battle. At this point, the mood of the performance picks up dramatically and automatically gives the audience a lot of action to take in and feed off of.
Another element that I can clearly see from this rehearsal today that I need work on is what facial expressions and tone of voice is appropriate for me to apply to each scene. Certain parts of the script are difficult to distinguish what tone they are to be spoken in and therefore what facial expression you are required to associate these with. To improve on this, I will go away and do some work on figuring out the pragmatics of my lines and what their underlying meaning is.
