Today's lesson we were given another scene from after Troy. We were split into groups and each got a section from Troy which went in order of the scene I was in a group with Lorna and Kat our scene was about when Polyxena thinks she is going to married to the king but she is actually going to get killed. I had the same character as last time I was Talthybius who is the scribe who passes on messages to people. I find this character different to I am because he is very boring and always wants to go by the rules. Hecuba is the mum of Polyxena and Cassandra she is ill and in scene I tell her that her daughter is going to get killed because I am the messenger she is shocked by this and is always thinking about her song who is dead but she does not know that. My character was shocked and was feeling sorry for Polyxena because he knew that she was about to get slaughtered and did not know that the mum didn't know.
We staged it by having me standing up Lorna laying on chairs like she was on a bed and Kat standing and kneeling when talking to us both. We focused more on are voices and facial expressions next time we will need to look at movement to make sure we are doing all of them we are acting.
