Costume for Mrs Bald - I have been told that whenever Mrs Bald speaks she is off stage so I don't really need to think of an outfit but if I were I would have a night because Mrs Bald is in bed trying to sleep during the play so a nighty would fit perfectly. For Mrs Bald though I do need to do a different voice for her then I do with Doreen so that's something I need to think about.
We went in groups at the beginning of the week to help each other with monologues and scenes so we could help them improve. Jake and I went through the scene with Doreen, Barry, Bald and Mrs Bald. Deborah has changed this scene so Barry is now Bald and Mrs Bald has been cut as I'm Doreen and Mrs Bald. Our first run through didn't go as well as I accidently played as Mrs Bald and Jake played as Blowpipe. When we were finally clear of our characters we did it again and Nathan and Matt who were in our group gave us some feedback. They said to make sure we bring across our characters, interact a bit more with the audience when looking for the keys and when Jake says "How you doing? Do you a fancy a bit?" in a none sexual way as he is Bald now in this scene and maybe refer to a drink in his hand.
We did some work on my first scene with Lane and Scullery as we haven't worked on it. I also tried it with the accent which I did find difficult but then I went with Laura and I think I have it. I just need to remember how to say it in the accent so I will be going over it. We performed it in front of the class and got some feedback.
I'm happy with my feedback as there quite a few good feedback that I got and I'm going to work on the bad during the Easter break. I also went through my scene with Joe for the first time which was originally Lane and the professor but it's now Doreen and the professor. I find this scene a bit hard as it kind of changes my interpretation of Doreen because the scene is suppose to be with Lane. I think this scene could show how Doreen is up for as much as Lane is and she doesn't just follow Lane around everywhere. It will allow the audience to see Doreen without Lane and maybe understand her a bit better. I did get a bit of feedback from this which I didn't mind because it was my first time doing this scene so I wanted feedback. The feedback that most people said was to be flirty with the professor because in this scene Doreen wants to get money out of him by sleeping with him and then he starts talking about his work so Doreen knows she's not going to get anything so just forgets it and stops flirting.
During the Easter break I plan to learn my lines with the northern accent and to practice my scenes to see if I can do bigger gestures and expressions to show more of my character. I also want to try and get my outfit for when we go back. I hopefully will have the northern accent by the time I go back if I practise which I definitely plan to do.
