1st March Gavins lesson

Today we finally finished creating and improving 'The story of The Little Beggar'. Today the energy was kept at a very high standard which helped our class get alot of things done.

In the first lesson we had gone over what we had created in 'The story of The Little Beggar'. I had given the role of the maid, i didnt have much dialogue at all but i was told play my character very lazy and not bothered this then helped build the comedy for this scene.

When people in the cast wasn't on stage they would be annotating their scripts and giving ideas for the scenes. I was helping people build on their characters for example i helped laura to build on her character as the Cheif of police, i had told her to shout and be more aggressive towards to other characters because she would then keep up the energy and the audience would be drawn to her, i also helped paige with her character as the Doctor, i told her be more melo-dramatic when she thinks she has killed the little beggar and not smile when her character does something funny because this would make her character more funny and interesting to watch however if she smiles the audience wont find it as funny and might lose intrest.

I also helped choregraph the fight that demi (steward) and joe (little beggar) have. We thought that if the fight could be like a cartoon for example demi hits joe on the head with a plate and joe goes still and falls on his back, this got many laughs from the audience.

The steward leaves the beggar leaning on the market stool, she physical puts a smile on his face and awkwardly walks away.


















Gavin then helped Charlie with his character.
