1984 Play 17/05/16 and 19/05/16

Today we did some vocal exercises we started the lesson by doing some breathing exercises because we need to be able to control our breathing and speaking we want to speak from our diaphragm then we won't hurt are vocal cords. We did different exercises like feeling our diaphragm while we were breathing in and out and making different sounds with our mouth. We also stood up and did this I found it easier when we stretched out and stood up and did our vocal exercises we also did some tongue twisters I found some of them harder than others because you do lose your words when you keep repeating the same words. We then sat down and had a chat about our prologue. We all gave some ideas of what we thought we could put into the prologue we wanted to show the control of big brother and the rebellion with Goldstein. In the prologue we start off in a cinema looking up at a screen then we show the whole chaos of someone getting controlled by big brother different times we do some moves in the same way and then someone breaks out because Goldstein who is me is going to be shown on the screen and then they will break out and try to get away from it. It is showing people getting controlled from big brother and how it can affect everyone I think this worked really well because we want to get our point across to the audience to show that big brother are the evil ones. I came up with some of the movement we could do in the piece when we were all in formation and said about using the cloth to put are hands up too this showing that big brother are taking over us. All of us worked well together to come up with a fantastic opening to the performance. We worked on the prologue for two lessons overall I need to get into the character of the performance so it is fully believable for the audience.
