Baggage

The whole scene has fallen back to how it was previously, no improvement from yesterday

Blade – You need to carry on speaking until Gwen cuts you off

B – You need to work on your lines, you will grow in confidence with the character when you are 100% on top of your lines

Gwen – work on the way that you are saying your lines; try not to be as monotone as you are

G+R – Great pace and speed with the “Paris” section, needs to be like that a lot more

B – When you are giving him the sandwich, try and not act as strong as you are, you are scared of him; will he hit you for getting him Chicken Tikka

B – Bring your voice down to a lower pitch

B – when you are sitting next to Kev, cross your legs and face away

G – when you are running to Kev, you look at your mum when you walk past and open out

R – you fiddle with your jacket when you get emotional, not just sad, but anger too, try and be aware of that

R – At the end, hold mums hand, its about her, not you. Stare into her eyes

All, hold the ending, carry on acting till you get the applause or someone calls stop

Coming Up

Antonio + Shaun – Need to work with tongue twisters, on diction!! Its very important

S – Need to slow down with your lines

A – Need to work on your lines, make sure that you are confident with your lines, hopefully you will be more confident on stage when you know your lines

A – “Is it” need to be less of a question and more of a statement and a longer pause between the first and second “is it”

S – Watch

It is not a very strong scene, the connection between the pair of you needs A LOT of work, but, it is beginning to come together.

Millenium

Frost + Gwen – Need to work on connection between you two. Are you in love? Have you had sex? How long have you been together? Have either of you ever cheated?

Shaun – Need to try some different things with your character, try being tired and slow

Antonio – The line is “Strong aren’t they? I could see....”

A – Need to work on your presence when you come on stage, need to have a lot bigger character and completely own the stage

S – Really need to work on the speed that you are speaking and your diction is extremely important

G – At the end, need to work on the pauses, need to make sure that its extremely powerful and it fulfils its potential for a moment

Every Bit

Yiannis – Can definitely afford to be bigger with your character

Radley – Put the script in your pocket when you are not using it

R – Use fingers and hands to signify The Machines penis

R – need to work on the “Got it” after “selection of vibrators”; its a ridiculous conversation to be having, but for you it is normal talk, thats why its funny!!

Y – Well done with impersonating Radley, its good, its funny now be more confident with it!

Catia – need to work on your diction and the pace that you are speaking, be more clear with your speech and slow it down

C – You have got a lot better when you are having a go at Ian

C – Let George finish line “have you two worked before”

Y – work on the accent, it was better when you did it at the start

Y – “Have you finished with the baby oil” X2 missed

Nicole – Played the part differently this time, i like what you done with it, i want to see more. But bring back the innocence!

Y - When you are saying ‘Hi’ to Twinckle, kiss her all the way up the arm

C – The sexy bit works well, still needs work though and you need to speak up

R+C – When you are hugging at the end, i couldn’t see Radley, Catia needs to open up

N – Lost your enthusiasm and energy at the end

Dark Matter

Its changed quite a bit, its like you both have different motivations, different energys and different emotions

Paige – I need to see much more maturity, age and control over Alex. You need to stay in character throughout the scene, you need to concentrate and give every rehearsal your all. You seem to have lost your character, peeked too early maybe?

Alex – You seem like you are now playing a ‘normal’ and ‘average’ man. The reason that you were cast in this role is because you bring something different to the part, bring it back a little. To ask your girlfriend to play a game, is not a normal thing to ask your girlfriend. Bring back the weirdness, stalkerness

P + A – I think that you two need to play the age more, try looking at/thinking about couples in TV series’/programmes/films that you think compliment your characters. The scene needs a lot more energy and enthusiasm, it has not gone from one of the strongest scenes with some of the best characterisation and strong actors to now boring and dull and i just wanted it to finish as soon as possible. It is not meant to be a funny scene!!

Monologue

Samantha – You need to get the hair out of your face, your facial expressions have come on leaps and bounds.

Sophie – I want to see a more drastic difference between your feelings and emotions, i want to see times when you have moments of uncontrollable emotion, whether it is anger, sad or drastic depression.

S + S – We need to work on this peice and we will spend time, lots of time investigating different ways that we can develop different emotions and characterisations.

S + S – There were some beautiful moments, some fantastic freeze frames, need to work on the pauses more. I will explain the staging to you and then we can work on how we can develop the piece using it. We need moments when you are both doing the same thing with movement but showing totally different facial expression.

Note to all!! Think about the footwear that you are wearing! If you are wearing heels then you should be wearing heels.
