For the past two classes we have really focussed on making sure that the system is visible in our workings and we have also blocked the fight scene. Hannah arrived back today and having someone who knows the play quite well, but who hasn’t seen the scene before was actually very helpful as she was able to give us feedback as to what an audience would feel/think/see/criticize/believe. It is different for our other director Sian who has been working on the scene for a week and had seen the blocking evolve. The fight scene has been very troubling for us as we don’t want it to look rehearse and we are mentally preparing ourselves for something that needs to appear as though it was not a conscious decision. On Friday we Joel and I had a go at pushing each other around and from that we were able to see what would naturally happen if we were shoved a certain way etc. We hope that this is going to be helpful tomorrow however it is slightly worrying that so much of our blocking was changed today, and we perform tomorrow. This is defiantly something that as a professional actor I will have to learn to cope with as accidents can go wrong on stage/cast members can fall ill etc and aspects of the play may need to be changed for a certain performance. It will be a test of both Joel and my drama ability to be able to remember all of the new blocking and portray the system tomorrow.
