In this lesson we had a read through of our script, discussed were we had learnt to in our script then done a full run through up to page 201.
In my group most of the people have to learn up to page 201 off-script then perform the rest of the play with script, the reason why they're performing the rest of the play with script is because I want to achieve a higher grade so I would perform off-script throughout the whole play.
We ran through the whole play adding movement while we're rehearsing, we then decided to add movement to the last 3 scenes within the play, we havent gathered our props for the last 3 scenes yet.
we then decided what scene we were going to perform to the class, and our group was going to perform the "Daz and Trev" scene. We then got given feedback.

Last Lesson 15/05/13
In this lesson we started with a warm-up, which was to stand in a square and speak a line in character that wasnt in your script, we then got told we had to speak in a northern accent througout the lesson. I find that if I spend a few days speaking in a northern accent it makes it more and more easier for me, because the play was set in Hull so the lines had to be spoken in a northern accent so by reading through my lines in Northern made it easier to learn. When I recieved the script I spoke in an northern accent and it helped me learn my lines alot quicker.
We then got in our groups, read through our script and then decided to get into our costumes, I find that getting into my costume helps me become my character before performing because being in my costume makes it feel abit more "real life" and for me it is alot easier performing as carol because that is my character.
I brought some small props in to make our shakers performance a bit different from the others so I brought in some cocktail umbrellas, Glaced cherries, bright coloured shot glasses and some cocktail sticks; I thought of the umbrellas for my character because I find that having that extra little detail would add a bit more characteristics to the performance.

last lesson8/05/13
In this lesson we got into our groups and discussed where we had learnt up to in our shakers script and in our group we had learnt up to page 196, we then had to perform off script how far we new, this helped our group by knowing when your Cue is.
We then had a Shakers meeting to discuss how we did and if we attended a rehearsal before our next lesson, which we didn't, then our group was allowed to cut our script down to page 101, this is because it would help Lisa, Nadine and Nikita because they have trouble learning lines. We then discussed a rehearsal day to rehearse and that was for tomorrow at 11.

last lesson 1/05/13
In this lesson we all participated in a warm-up, this warm-up was a improvisation warm-up and doing this is helping me with the shakers assessment.
We then got given a character profile booklet, we filled these out while other people were having 1-1's about our last assessment. while filling this booklet out it helped me realize who carol was in shakers and doing this is helping me get into character more quicker.
I then got told my grade for my last assessment and that was 4 merits and 2 distinctions which I'm very happy about but I would like to achieve higher for my shakers assessment.
