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.
