Peter and the Wolf BLOCKING 8

We had completed a run through in the morning of today, despite not having Hugo in class (the wolf). Georgia (the duck) and Silvana (a hunter) managed to complete the roles of Hugo, with Silvana playing it in the first half, and Georgia playing it in the second half. We went through the whole piece, but were forced to have a few pauses to solve confusion.

I felt my performance was okay, as I have sorted out all the issues I have previously had (with my final developing scene being completed yesterday). This meant that I could focus my time on helping the others with completing their scenes.


The scenes that were developed surround the hunters, the duck and the bird. One specific scene was when Peter shouts about how he wants to take the wolf to the zoo". He mentions the bird in this quote, therefore we chose for my character to bring the bird down from the tree and they perform movement together, to show their friendship. They dance around the hunters and perform their motif again. At the end, they do the high five that they did at the start.


Later on in the day we had more rehearsals, which we struggled in as our duck had not turned up to rehearsals. Despite this, we still managed to work through a scene and make improvements. This was after the duck dies, and the duck ceremony music takes place. We wanted the wolf to come on stage, take a feather out of his mouth, rub his belly and then lie down for a sleep. We also chose to have some movement from the other characters on stage, being the bird and the cat. Both get out the tree and put a little gravestone in front of it. This means there will be no blank space and it will give more creativity to the set.


Here is a discussion video we took in our afternoon rehearsal.
