12/10/20 working on 4.48 Psychosis blocking

 We started today by clarifying our plans for the day, along with what we have completed so far (and reviewed how much extra rehearsal we have to do). So far, we have:

  • 2-minute physical theatre piece for 4.48 Psychosis
  • Beginning already planned for this play
  • Rehearsed East with Tristan
  • Have started blocking our movements for our duologue
Today, we plan to:
  • Block the whole of 4.48 Psychosis
We have decided to rehearse for an extra 2 hours after school in order to ensure this is completed for steady progress. In period 1, we recorded a long discussion surrounding 4.48 Psychosis. We have planned out our opening sequence, choosing to have the first 5 lines of the script before the first physical theatre sequence (being an impactful start to the piece, as we will all be facing away from the audience, leaving it enigmatic). We are still in the process of deciding which areas of the script we want to keep/scrap, as there are some divides in opinion within our group. I think we should use larger monologue sections (as I feel it fits Frantic Assembly's style better, giving us more opportunity to portray an actual piece of theatre), whereas other people think it would be more beneficial to use individual lines. We will discuss our decision in later periods today.

We have just completed rehearsals from period 5, 6 and after school rehearsals. We didn't progress as much as we had planned, however, we still feel as though we will have enough time to create a very good play. In this time, we added a scene to our piece. This scene is primarily scripted, but we also do some movement surrounding Emma/the bed. Emma sits at the edge of the bed, while the other characters circle around her. This short scene concludes with us all sitting aligned at the edge of the bed. In the after school rehearsal, we decided to have another physical theatre sequence here. We tried to devise this but struggled, therefore didn't get much done.
