During this lesson, we completed our usual warm ups and started an activity to help us project our voice to a certain person. You had to point at someone and speak a line from your play to show who you were addressing. This helped to show us who was in command and how to address different people. After this, we got straight into rehearsals for "Noughts & Crosses". The teacher watched our performances and gave us some advice to make our scenes better. He helped me to develop my character using different gestures and body movement. For example, I point my finger at "Jasmine" to show that I am in command and that I am angry at her. After this, we rehearsed the intimate scene between "Callum" and "Sephy" again. This time, we added movement with our line. For example, you would walk onto the stage and address one person, then they would address the next person. We also began to direct the Dundale shopping centre bomb scene. We all have to run onstage and say "Sephy, you have to get out of here. Right now". We all surround Francesca (Sephy) until Ellis, who plays Callum, runs onto the stage. At this point we all kneel down on the floor. When the bomb explodes, we all have to fall back onto the floor in slow motion. At first, this looked very over the top, but the teacher showed us how to make it look dramatic and effective. I like this scene as it uses different theatrical techniques.
