Scene Photos

These photo are from the gas chamber scene with Hero and Beatrice- Helpfully choreographed by Rose!

Notes from run

Notes:
         Give the audience identity cards?

James and Elsa – find more moments of noticing each other, look and hold for longer, especially in the finding violin scene.

ALL: don’t use the word OK!

Mandi - take time with the daughter, need to see the internal monologue.

James – when shooting the daughter angle it so that you don’t shoot mandi as well.

ALL: When exiting the foyer in the first scene, use rotation, look back at the audience.

Look at the health and safety requirements for the Gas Chamber Scene – torch into the gas chamber. Leave the audience in there longer.

Heighten/ stylise the coat-dancing.

Oral soundtrack needed between the end of coat-dancing and finding the violin – the silence was found awkward by the audience.

ALL: lose the make-up, jewellery and nail polish.

Keep singing longer whilst in the hub after exiting the foyer.

The scenes in the hub are too far away from the audience.

Work with the guns.

Sort out the dynamics and speed with lines in the hub scenes.

Enter scenes with more purpose.

ALL: speak up.

INTENT!

The movement scene is beautiful (lovey dovey scene)

James – shout louder in the balcony scene.

ALL: less panting.

James – line change: “That bitch that killed her”

Daisy and James – lift voices in the argument leading to daisy’s death.

James – get hysterical when reading the liberation letter.

Beatrice hold the gun to James and Hero takes the gun from her.

Mandi – don’t thank him.

Chairs and blocks in the hub so audience feel part of the scene.

Becs – share the violin and the face more, more joyous and nod of thanks to James.

Sort the blocking for James and Daisy’s death scene.

James – the more German the better.

Daisy – most evil bitch in existence, vicious, no heart.

During the Hub scenes: use downstage right/left, enter through the audience.

Tricking Scenes: Hide in the balcony, not of stage (breaks dynamics), speak up (life depends on it – more urgent).

Shoe Scene: Quicker, Shorter, perhaps smell a shoe.

ALL: Keep fear internal.

ALL: Shock element.

ALL:DON’T PANIC!

Rose’s Tea Note: Creation is ready to serve you, if you just be you.

Costume

FINALLY WE HAVE BOUGHT THE PYJAMAS!!!!

At the end of last weeks rehersal we decided to list the scenes we have done and the scenes we still need to cover along with our aims of the week: we discovered that we had achieved far more than we had set out to do at the beginning of the week... showing us that we only have a few more secen to plan out and organise until we have the whole production as a basic structure.





Here are the scenes that we still need to cover:

• Hero's Monologue
• the court room
• camp liberation
• camp life music scene (leading to Bec's death)

The Layout

This is the lay out of all our scenes around each room where we will perform them.
