Before I say anything else, happy new year! Anyway, the last lesson before we broke up for the Christmas holidays, we rehearsed the rest of tale 4 and started tale 5.
My task over the holidays was to learn all my lines, I know I'm going to be prepared with them for the first Theatre lesson of the year! Learning the lines off by heart is always a good thing, especially as this is a physical theatre performance, we don't need scripts getting in the way while everyone is moving about.
For each tale everyone is working in an ensemble and I have a character for every scene, whether that just be me or a group of people playing it.
I have been asked to go through the whole script and summarise every character I am playing in each scene.
Prologue - I am simply one of the headlight's to Lloyd's taxi.
Tale 1 - One of the many women describing what the East End would be like if it was her friend.
Tale 2 - I am not included in this scene as it is boys only.
Tale 3 - I am one of the many witnesses to what Jack does.
Tale 4 - I am one of the many narrators to Nina's thoughts and feelings.
Tale 5 - I am playing (along with others) the thoughts that are going through the child's head while the abuse is taking place next door.
Tale 6 - I am the boy narrating what he sees taking place in the pub.
Tale 7 - I am only in the ensemble for this scene, repeating lines that the cashier clerk said.
Prologue - I return to being one of the headlights to Lloyd's taxi.
I chose three of my lines and wrote what the objective was in saying it, this will help me know actually how to say it, and with what emotion.
'All 10p of it' - The objective is to show how little she probably usually gets from her dad, so she is used to getting so little.
'No way
Not at all' - The objective is to show how against that statement we are'
'And the next
And the next
And the next' - The objective is to show that is keeps happening. It could start to get boring because of the repetition.
