Dark Matter

Great volume, great speed, you’ve really taken all the feedback and constructive criticism that I have given you on board over this process.

P – ‘You should be because you look like one’ wait, that line was completely lost because you said it over the audience laughing at the previous line

The two of you are creating a great relationship with each other, let’s keep developing it, and don’t let all the hard work that you have put in over the past few months go to waste, it is a good scene, still not perfect though and I will happily keep working with you, with it to carry on developing it.

The scene is getting stronger and stronger after each run/performance, let’s carry on that motivation and we will have a mind-blowing massive success by the final show.

Millennium

Frost – Need to get a different top – Beatles were not 90’s

Shaun – You know exactly how to play the comedy with an audience, the comedy timing is really great and is something for everyone else to aspire to, well done

Antonio – Need to work on your diction. Good characterisations in total though, and I really think that you have developed a great character

A – Wait for the ‘Pac man’ line, it’s funny. Don’t let it get swallowed up by the audience

Gwen – Do not fancy either of the other characters, besides G. You just want to go to the party, which is your goal.

A – Be physically manic and uncontrollable butt not vocally, you need to make sure that you are in 100% control over your voice, every work and all of the pronunciations of all of the words

We are having a big problem with dialogue being skipped by the entire cast in this scene, I acknowledge that it is difficult to get the exact words from the script onto the stage, but that’s what needs to happen.

Every Bit of my Love

Yiannis – Need to play old film titles more, pause, let the audience react and realise what you are saying

Radley – Use the newspaper as genitailia

Radley – Make sure that you are saying the exact words that are in the scripts, you have a habit of changing words/ phrases which therefore bring a whole different take on the scene

Y – ‘Alice in Underpants’ louder

Nicole – Look at R hand in disgust when you are offered his hand to shake

N – Do not be afraid to hold onto R genitals for as long as possible, the awkwardness works in the piece

Catia – Start your dialogue straight away while doing the sexy bit

Coming Up

Antonio – The word is ‘Incense’ you need to work on your diction for this entire piece, it can be seen in this word

Shaun – You also need to do work on your diction, slow down the pace of your dialogue, open your mouth wider and take deeper breaths before, while and after speech

S – They are MY work trousers

A – More clear with ‘pages of history’ line, it’s funny but getting swallowed up by not being loud enough

Monologue

After every time that you look at each other, be scared of what you see, the fact that your refection is moving is a quite disturbing thought, even more so if you think that maybe they have different brains? Different minds? Make different decisions? Create/have different feeling within themselves and an audience?

Sophie – How to stop hair from dragging along your face?
