Well I missed the first 10 minutes because I had to cycle straight from my last school and they had locked my bike in and when I got there there were exams I had to find out where I was because I was stupid and didn't see the sign and eventually I went to student reception and I got to the lesson 10 minutes late. Ah. Stress!
Anyway...
We were doing the opening scene of Antigone and firstly just going over what we had already rehearsed a few weeks ago, it was a bit ropy at first but we soon started to get into the swing of things again. Me and my partner messed up our sequence a couple of times, (especially when the chorus began to go double time) but that was kind of to be expected considering we hadn't rehearsed it in ages. We do need to make it as smooth and fast as possible though, to make it more eye-catching and impressive to the audience. I feel like our movements look pretty good, though we only have one change in level at the beginning and the last few movements are pretty similar.
We then began to work on the transition into the actual script beginning with distinguishing Antigone from the rest of the cast and then where the cast stand and how they react to the first part of the Chorus' speech. As Creon I have to go centre and as the page I have to go behind everyone else, and I am wee bit worried about forgetting on the night which character I'm meant to be and standing in the wrong place. Sure it'll be fine. I do really like how we've done the first scene as the fight sequences are very striking for the audience and the way we transition into the play is very effective.
