Today's lesson with Mr. Rennison has been a very effective learning lesson where I was giving long periods to observe and reflect on the scenes we were doing. Two groups I found very effective were Eleanor's Molly's + Mr. Rennison and Chloe. They both had qualities that made their performance engaging and interesting. Some of the reasons they were so great were; Their objectives weren't concrete but they still had solid purpose and if it needed to be changed it did. Even though the scene may have not felt quite right they stuck with it and played around and changed 'till it was just right. They weren't afraid to get something wrong but go back and re-mould
Some of the wise quotes I got from today included: Every single scene is a chase scene, They moment you catch your partner the scene dies so I know I should highly refrain from doing that! A gram of action is worth a ton of text. This parallels with actions speak louder than words. You can tell way more about a character through the way they move, bodies can't lie but the mouth can, no-one talks the truth about themselves. I must act like I've got something to lose (this does not need explaining). Working with my scene partners: I am doing them no favours by pretending. Have patience when starting a scene, give the audience time to soak up every little morsel on stage!! Always have chemistry even if it's negative chemistry. Slowly warm up the scenes engine.
I feel sometimes simply watching others create can be more rewarding than reflecting all the time
