We are getting very close now to the big show!, which means we are running through scenes very quickly, scenes themselves are already blocked however we still need ideas for the scene transitions.
After workshoping a few ideas which me and Miss Eastwood had come up with, this encouraged the children to come up with some great ideas (one of my favourite being brook who lassoos himself offstage) the rehersals are 2 hours long now which means i have to be escpecially vigilant on keeping the kids active and interested in the rehersal. However so far they have been doing very well at concentrating.
Injecting comedy into the scenes is another element i have been concentrating on, such as a "fight" scene with swords, after experimenting with a few ideas the children and us came up with the idea of the sowrd being thrown and a character in the background being effected by it ( which left me and Miss in fits of laughter, which is always a good sign) one more rehersals before holiday and after that its scripts down and trying to run it fully!

Wednesday and Monday rehersals
IT HAS HAPPENED!
We have offically blocked all scenes and now we are running it, i came up with a brillient and funny way to end the show on wednesday which we workshoped and it worked perfectly, the script says how the character is burnt with hot tapers, and i thought it would be very funny if they "burnt" him into doing a jig, after trying this out we found out it worked BRILLIENTLY.
On Monday i started with a very NOISY and rowdy crew a warm up and most of all CONCENTRATION exercise which helped them to focus before we moved on to running scenes togethor, they went through scenes 13 through to 16 with only a few hicups but after we explained to them that there is only "7 REHERSALS LEFT" they ran it again and it was perfect, the power of attitude ey?
also towards the end of Monday rehersal we finalised the look of each character (finally deciding on a modern countryside look) as me and Miss said it "7 REHERSALS LEFT" it sunk in for me to, we are getting very close and rehersals are now 2 hours long instead of 1, WOW exiting times.

Royal Shakespeare!
ive lost internet recenly -_- upside is last monday we too the cast to where we will be putting on the show at the lovely richmond theatre!
The royal Shakespeare company performed a workshop where they took the children through exercises which helped them to develop their voices and also how to speak shakespearian. While they did this i helped to finialsie the details as well as work out how themusic would be uploaded so it will be ready for the big night. i then returned to see how the workshop was doing, the way they motivated and encouraged the kids while also helping them gget to grips with the shakesperian language was great, and i took insparation from that to use when i next run a warm up. also the games they did to help them use their voices in difference ways also influenced me.
its getting closer now!
