Lesson 3

Lesson 3

Learning Objective: To be able to read through the script and add blocking.

How I felt during the run through?

During the run through I felt a lot more confident compared to last time as I had practised at home, taking my time to pronounce each word. Though I practised there were moments that I slurred my words or stuttered but at least I have improved.To make my scene flow I needed to understand what i was saying which on a whole I didn't. By knowing what I'm saying I can act it within my voice through tone showing I know what I'm talking about.

Blocking

I've spent time noting in blocking and memorisg them as they are just as important as learning lines.

Further Characterisation for Bardolph

This lesson for me involved exploring my character in depth finding small actions which they do reflecting their personality or what other characters say they do.When playing Bardolph there is a scene where I am constantly insulted about my nose and how big and disgusting it is.This lead to me having the idea of wiping my nose a lot when on stage,this shows hows unhygienic and unclean my character is. 

Below is an example of when 'Boy' Talks about Bardolphs nose,to insult him.

Boy. Do you not remember, a' saw a flea stick upon
Bardolph's nose, and a' said it was a black soul
burning in hell-fire?

Bardolph. Well, the fuel is gone that maintained that fire:
that's all the riches I got in his service.

Goals for the next lesson

I plan to find time to translate my words on 'No Fear Shakespeare' so when I speak,I show i have meaning to what I am saying.
