rehearsal 7 homework

Why have we/i worked well?
I think that we as a group have worked well because we are being given clear direction in rehearsals for Illyria, one idea that required key direction was the chorus creating walls around violent during the safe house scene. The use of the ensemble creating walls made the space feel small and clostrophobic making this idea work very well. However there was a lack of clear notation and this idea had to be scrapped. In theatre making detailed notes on ensemble movement and how the movement is created so it is recreatable as every time we redid this section there was gaps and issues resulting in this section being scrapped. The play is enjoyable and more exciting than what we have worked on before which is captivating us as a group and making us more focused and giving us aims to achieve. My aims for this play is to be a successful member of an ensemble by keeping focus and being productive, overall i want to produce a successful and moving piece of theatre which i feel Illyria has the capability to do as the story is very intense and presents the dark lives many people experience. Another key factor to working well is group participation, where the majority of the group is focused and working well there is less disruption and issues in the group allowing us to work better as a collective and become one ensemble unit. I believe that group support is one of the most important factors in having an effective ensemble and as a class we have found the support in us and we can now create an efficient ensemble.
