Rehearing: THRUST STAGE: Advantage: The play can be viewed from more than one angle, an intimate atmosphere is created. Having one end which is visible to all provides a ‘back’ to the stage. Disadvantage: Sight lines can still be an issue. Question: As an actor the challenges that I will have personally being directed in this space is the dilemma of having my back to the audience, of course it is okay for most of the scenes as we have a big cast and so the chances of someone else facing that member of the audience when I am not is very high.However I still feel like this comes as a challenge. Stage directions: The prologue has been staged so that there a multiple groups playing the same role, it's almost like the taxi driver skips from one journey to another whilst conveying the same story. We create this affect using lights to ensure a sharp and modern fluidity that moves around the space (the audience don't know where they will be looking next until it is lit). Tale 1: My role is a young typical East End kinda girl. The piece has been staged in a symmetrical formation in which we interact with neither the audience or each other. Staging choices were made by our director however we had to choose what we wanted to say, how we say the lines and particular poses we do e.g. selfie, phone call, texting etc. My strengths on this piece so far has been line learning as I have already learned my lines in this Tale. I need to develop the ending transition because we all stand up however it is straight after my line and so I don’t forget to stand but I feel as if I look messy and almost like a delayed reaction. I need to practice the transition and my speed at which I do things.
