Today was our first lesson of assessment week and to start the lesson we did an hours research to help us with our written task which we did today also! After the written task we decided who would play who our performance of the Snow Queen (I'm playing Kai) and we also started putting together final scenes- The robber scene! This was important as the Snow Queen is only a month and a half a way! We decided that in the robber scene there should be a link to the Snow Queen and Kai on the sleigh. Kai is sent by the Snow Queen to inform the robbers that Gerda is on her way through the forest so they should rob her. We also decided that Gerda picks up different items throughout her journey that she needs in order to free Kai at the palace- a key that opens any door, a sack of 'embers' to melt the snow and a magical flower that puts others to sleep.
Me and Lizzy (the snow queen) decided that the Snow Queen has total power over Kai. We decided to make it so he only speaks when he's told to and other than that he simply stares into open space and talks monotone. this was effective as it made it look as if Kai was in a trance and being controlled. We did this to make Kai seem powerless and what made this even more effective is that it made the Snow Queen look even more powerful. This is suitable as we want the snow queen to look as powerful and evil as possible!
Here is a plan of the scenes and characters/actors in our performance of The Snow Queen:
