Today we had another run through of Act 2 to ensure it was perfect!
I think today went well, the most successful thing we did today, in my opinion, was sort out the high school dance scene. In last weeks rehearsal it had no energy and didn't feel like a dance at all. However this week, we choreographed the scene and it looks so much better for it. Our energy levels were pretty good today which helped a lot. The most important thing during the dance scene is to simply never stop moving and keep up the movement. Whilst dancing the Hand Jive, we found that the new backing track is quite different to the one we used whilst choreographing the song so we need to rectify that and perhaps even find a different backing track.
How my Character has developed:
My character hasn't developed much sice last week as we're working on the same scenes. However, I feel like the more confident I am getting with my lines, the more i am able to get into character and play Doody much stronger.

Grease Rehearsals 12/03/13
In today's lesson we went over act 2 and managed to block the whole act.
Today was always going to be a struggle with numbers because of the snow but we managed to get a decent amount of us in. However, we did our best to run all the scenes and I feel like it's starting to take shape even more. What went especially well today was the choreography in songs. For example, we had a gap at the end of the lesson where we simply went over songs and the choreography. We went over Those Magic Changes, Freddy my love, Summer Nights, You're the one that I want, Mooning and Beauty School Dropout. For these songs, the choreography is now pretty much sorted and in my opinion, the songs are the most important part of a musical- meaning that we are well on our way to putting together a really good show.
Rachel gave us clear dates for when we should be off script and what we'll be doing. For example, next week we will run Act 2 until it's perfect, the week after we will run the entire thing and from then on won't be allowed our scripts as we should have learnt all of our lines by then.
How my Character has developed:
In Act 2, Doody's sometimes comes across as cocky and a bit rude. I spoke about this last week when Doody incinuates that he and Roger should go and beat up a geek. However, today was the first time we went over the 'Rizzo Pregnancy scare scene' and I was shocked at how heartless Doody is. He sarcastically says 'Tough Luck, Rizzo' to her which I find really horrible. I think the main point to him reacting this way is that he wants to look tough in front of his friends but I also believe that he is secretly jealous that Rizzo and Kenickie had been sleeping together- because he hasn't slept with anyone. However, I don't think Doody means this viciously because this is DOODY we're talking about- he's just easily led and influenced which often means he says things which he doesn't actually mean.

GREASE Rehearsal 6/03/13
Today was our first rehearsal in 3 weeks and we managed to get a lot done. We started blocking Act 2 and managed to almost finish the entire act. We only had 2 hours of practical work today due to the Studio space being used but we definitely made the most of the time.
Today I think the main issue was energy- this particularly evident in the high school dance scene at the start of act 2. It was a bit dead but I do believe once we're off scripts it will look a lot better- it didn't help that people had forgotten their scripts and this meant it didn't flow well at all. We just need to be constantly moving/dancing and then it will give the scene a lot more energy.
We choreographed Beauty School Dropout and I think it looks really good. This is my favourite song to sing and I felt the choreography suited the song. It was lots of fun. Next time we run it, we will be in the actual Drama Studio so it will look a lot better and we'll get a better idea of spacing/staging.
Today, I learnt numerous things about my character. For example, at the high school dance he says to Roger 'Hey rump let's go have a weed.' This is an 'old fashioned' term which was used in the 50s and 60s to describe 'getting a nerd'. This shocked me as up until this point I didn't see Doody as a bully- in fact, I saw him more as the 'nerd'. I think this shows that although he is the 'geeky' one in the T-Birds, just being in the T-Birds makes him cool in the eyes of others. In order to show this new side of Doody that I discovered today, I think I need to play him a little bit more cocky. Act 2 also shows a more aggressive nature in Doody when he carries a baseball bat when he and the rest of the T-Birds go to fight the Flaming Dukes. Although, it's clear that he is in fact quite scared about the fight and he goes back to the way I got to know him in the first act. I think in Act 2, he's got Frenchy and I believe this gives him a little bit more confidence than he had previously had.

GREASE Rehearsal 12th February
In today's lesson we managed to block the whole of Act 1. I was pretty much off script today as I'd learnt my lines over the weekend and most of the others were starting to get more familiar with their lines too. This gave the different scenes more of a flow and the play is really starting to take place. Once everyone is off script we can really concentrate on the acting and the sooner this happens, the better. We went over the dance routines for Those Magic Changes, Freddy my Love and Mooning- the only dances we need to learn in act 1 now is We Go Together and Greased Lightening- which Sam will choreograph in the near future. I feel as if everyone is getting more confident and much more enthusiastic which is really helping the rehearsal process as it allows everyone to 'go for it' more. The 1st Act really started taking shape today.
Character Development:
Today I developed my character even further. Being off script allowed me to think in depth about my character choices surrounding Doody. I already knew that he was a joker and that he likes to crack jokes but something I realised today is just how much sarcasm he uses. The line 'Jeez, nice couple' is sarcastic and could come across rude. He's saying it to Rizzo and Kenickie, and of course, he looks up to Kenickie. I need to put more emphasis on the sarcasm to show that although he looks up to Kenickie, he wants to try to impress the rest of the group- he's a class clown.

Grease- 6th February
In todays lesson we finished blocking Act 1 so by next Tuesday we should all be off script for the opening act.
Choreography:
Today we learnt the choreography to Mooning. All the Greasers are on stage at this point (except Sandy) so in some ways it's very similar to Those Magic Changes. To start with, the guys and the girls are facing opposite each other in separate lines swaying to and fro clicking our fingers. We came up with a really cool routine and here is a video of it:
We also went through the Greased Lightening routine but we were told that Sam will be choreographing the piece and unfortunately we didn't have a lesson with her on this particularly day (The same applies to We Go Together).
Character Development:
Today I learnt that my character Doody is desperate to ask out Frenchie but doesn't have the courage. This is shown when he asks Frenchie whether she can still go to the ball; she says that she can and then he 'bottles it' and says 'oh...nothin'. I believe that today's lesson showed me just how much Doody likes Frenchie- he just doesn't have the courage that Danny and Kenickie have and could be classed as a 'hopeless romantic'. Doody is the one that tries to look cool in front of his guy friends (the T-Birds) and tries to crack as many jokes as possible- a lot which are sarcastic. For example he says 'jeez nice couple' when Rizzo and Kenickie are having a big argument.

GREASE Rehearsal 29/01/13
In today's lesson we blocked scenes 1,2,3,4 and 5. Today was focused on our movement and learning what happens in the scene. As we progress and get 'off script' we will find it a lot easier to get into character.
Scene 1:
The beginning scene of the show starts with us all singing Alma Mater. We'd already blocked this scene before but today was a lot easier. I still need to get into character better and not be afraid to 'go for it' and act 'crazy' when the Greaser's start singing the parody version. As time goes on, I'll learn more about my character Doody and will find it a lot easier to portray him in the correct way. In terms of Scene 1, we've sorted out movement and as far as I know we're all off script. All I need to do now is make sure I'm 100% okay with the lyrics, get right into my character and this scene will be sorted!
Scene 2:
Scene 2 is the scene where The Pink ladies are first on stage and the T Bird's characters are developed and made clear to the audience. I know all my lines in this scene and I'm pretty confident. Once again, I need to be more confident in my movement- particularly when Kenickie and Danny enter as it needs to be totally clear that I idolise them and they're the cool ones of the group. The song 'Summer Nights' needs to be polished- particularly the T Birds and Pink Ladie's movements. We also need to make sure we know what parts of the song we're singing where as it's not just Sandy and Danny singing this song. Me and Roger need to really exaggerate our funny laughs to make us look even more 'geeky' than we already look.
Scene 3:
Scene 3 is the scene where I sing my solo 'Those Magic Changes'. Today we sorted out the movement sequence for the rest of the greasers which they'll do whilst I sing. All I really need to do in this scene is sing and make sure I stay in character whilst singing which is difficult but with a lot of practice it will look good.
Scene 5:
The main part of scene 5 is 'Greased Lightening' but we just did an improvisation for that today. At the beginning of the scene we've all got to be out of breath so Rachel made us run round the studio 3 times beforehand! We didn't sort the routine out for the song but Sam is going to choreograph it with us.
Character Devlopment Choices:
I've realised just how much of a joker Doody is. Today we decided that Doody should have a really annoying comedy-value laugh which is exaggerated whenever he cracks a joke. This will strengthen Doody's humorous values as a character and also make it clearer to the audience what other's think of Doody- through their reactions to his laugh. To develop this further, I need to talk to other cast members and discuss different ways they will react to Doody's laugh. Doody and Roger are best friends so whenever one of them laughs- so does the other.
Overall, today's rehearsal went really well. We got a lot of work done and I'm a lot clearer on what we need to do. The main thing is to go all out with character. The 3 things that I need to make sure I do are:
1) Characterisation (also when singing)
2) Learn all my lines in these scenes so I'm off script.

Don't Feed The Animals (Production)
4th January 2013:
17th January 2013:
In today's lesson we split into groups to focus on different aspects of the production side of Don't Feed the Animals'. Me, Emily and Beth are working on costume and had to research different types of clowns. For example, I researched the Auguste Clown. The Auguste Clown doesn't generally have a set 'costume' but they always wear something over the top and oversized/baggy. They all have very similar make up, however.
Here is my costume design for the Auguste Clown:
24th January 2013:
Today we presented our research on DFTA to the class. I am focusing on costume so this week I showed my design for an Auguste Clown and also my research.
Here's a little bit of background information on the Auguste Clown:
- Least intelligent of all clowns but also the most popular.
- There isn't a 'rule' when it comes to Auguste Clown's costumes but the colours have to contrast, exaggerate and are generally primary colours.
- Not clear when it was first founded.
- 1869 'Legend' when a clown forgot something from backstage; ran on stage and fell over; the crowd shouted 'Auguste' ('Idiot' in German).
- Albert Fratellini and Lov Jacobs had a big impact on the development of the Auguste Clown over the early 20th Century.
After our presentations, we put together a list of what we had done, what we need to do next and how we will achieve it.
What I have done so far:
- designed an Auguste Clown Costume for DFTA.
- researched the Auguste Clown.
-
What I will do next:
- Design more costumes for Auguste Clown.
- Design other Character's Costumes- Robin Hood AND a 'Chav'.
- Research Robin Hood AND St Trinians.
How I will achieve this:
- Research: internet, script, books.
Research on Robin Hood and his outfit:
It's often questioned whether Robin Hood is fact or fiction:
My Design for Don't Feed the Animals:
31st January 2013:
In today's lesson me, Beth and Emily got on with making our first costume- The Harlequin Clown. Beth had researched the Harlequin Clown in detail and knew that they have diamonds over their jumpsuits and they tend to be dressed in black and white. We painted onto a coloron material jumpsuit and here was the result:
The rest of the class got on with their own areas of the production: Make Up and Set.
Here is the Harlequin Clown's Collar which I made by folding pieces of coloron material together:
In today's lesson we were told that we were going to be designing and creating the set for the year 13s performance of 'Don't Feed The Animals'. We read through the first few pages of the script and got an idea of where the play is set and what the characters are. The play is about a struggling circus and starts off with one of the clowns dying. We learnt that there are 3 different types of clown- Auguste, Harlequin and Hobo and there are also several other characters like Robin Hood, Tinkerbell and Maid Marion. Me, Emily and Beth decided that we would choose to work on costume. Here are the groups opening ideas for Costume, Set and Make up:

7th February:
In today's lesson I painted the collar for the harlequin clown with black paint as we felt it would look better if it was black and white instead of just white. After I'd finished painting the collar (which took a while) I carried on painting the actual harlequin costume- we hadn't finished both sides last week.
14th February:
In today's lesson me and Lindsey put together the Hobo's clown costume. We went to the costume cupboard to find a blazer to 'destroy'! Hobo Clown's are known for having different patches on the blazer. We found lots of different coloured materials in the costume cupboard like an old skirt, bed sheets, duvet covers and trousers. We cut out patches from these items and glued them onto the blazer using fabric glue. We painted lines off of the patches once they were on the blazer to make it look as if they had been sewn on. After we finished with the blazer we moved onto the trousers. We found an old pair of trousers in the costume cupboard which we started to make look dirty with white and grey paint and we also started sewing patches onto the trousers.

Summary:
Strengths –You are a real source of motivation
for many in the group and managed a strong first production with us. You took
responsibility for specific production roles, maintained a creative flow of
ideas and contributed strong directorial ideas. A really positive group
member with sensitivity and humour aswell as strong characterisation skills–
well done.
Development – You need to focus on continuing to
build your analytical theatrical vocabulary whilst maintain and building on
your written entries into your blog.
