Lesson 16

This rehearsal due to being placed in a small room we ran the exercise differently, we split the class in half. Instead of independently running the exercise Ben read out instructions that indicated when we should do the next move; To search, to reach, to fail, to struggle, to accept, to survive, to overcome, to hope, to surrender, ask for forgiveness, to contemplate, to stand up - against, to believe, after completing the exercise, Benji played a song of his choice from the show and we would sing according to it, having to commit and believe while singing it. After the two halves did the exercise twice in the space, we continued to run/ work on cue scenes that we stopped at last lesson - the goods scene. When it came to the last scene where we all die, we had the opportunity of working with the stretchy material that will be over us whilst we die and we were able to see how effective it looked. it wasn't hard to move and it was comfortable to breathe. Looking back at photos and videos that were taken while the scene was happening, it was apparent that it was more effective when we made big movements in the material and it looked sinister.
