Today we had an extra rehearsal and doing a run through of act 1 and act 2. We started off by talking about circus in a bit more detail and if we still think it's entertaining and it there anything we could do to make more funny and appealing to the audience. As we spoke what a circus is and that they are suppose to be funny, we thought it would be good to add some things that are funny. Also a lot of the lines are funny in the play, we have to make sure we show when we say our line, so we don't miss out on any laughs. Also the clowns have to be very funny too, so they need to work on that we thought, as at the moment its not very funny, its more just random movements.
Everyone was getting on really well and no one was stressing out. We all worked really well again as a team. When we did the run through of Act 1 and 2, we made sure we tried to make the liens that are meant to be funny, sound funny. She gave us some feedback and said that they did, just make sure your making it clear. Rachel also suggested(after seeing Act 3) that we do a lot of improvisation when we aren't doing anything. We need to still play our animals when improvising. We thought this looked good and went quite well, but we moved around a lot and it looked quite messy. To overcome this matter we just did the movements in the same positions we were in with our partners. And when our partner starts dancing, just carry on improvising and moving around like your animal would, around your partner still.
It was quite a productive lesson and we got a lot done and got Act 3 tidied up a lot more than what it was before. Even the clown routine was looking really funny now, after they worked on it and we all helped them out and gave them suggestions.
