First week starting from Monday-14th -18th September
On Monday was our first official day back at college. First was Robs lesson were we just did some rehearsal techniques getting us into shape for our upcoming performance in October. It was fun to be back I missed everyone my summer was beginning to get very boring without college and I made good friends so I was happy to be back. In Robs lesson we just played around doing acting exercises, such as improvising activities which was really fun. To get us back to the usual routine I did last year. Furthermore after Robs lesson we had Sharon's lesson our tutor, in this lesson we just went over the side of things for our course and some little acting activities. The little acting activities we did was reading and working on articulation of words from a Shakespeare play, which was good to help us improve the pronunciation of words. This really helped me to understand words I've never come across and helped me develop my acting skills. Also in Sharon's lesson we analysed the speech given to us of Romeo and Juliet ,which was explaining the mixed emotions along the speech, to help us understand the meaning behind the words when acting which was really helpful.
On Tuesday we didn't have college as it was our day off. On this day I worked all day ,as I have job to do that was my day.
On Wednesday we had Sharon first, in this lesson we worked on the theory side of things for our course. Which was signing papers for trips outside the college and doing the paperwork to give us permission to go on trips with the college. Next we had Robs lesson in the same room. In this lesson we set up our blogs for the year, although several people couldn't make a blog account from the computers at the college. Luckily mine worked ,I had no problems.
On Thursday was a very productive day we had Rob all day ,we just did all acting exercises which was mainly mouth exercises to pronounce words to the best if our ability before the big reveal was revealed. We were given our first scripts for our performance coming up in October. My play given to me was Oedipus , my character is An blind but very wise man who's sees everything more clearly then others but they don't believe him ,his name is Tyresias. My partner is my fellow class mate Iosiah who's character is Oedipus. We rehearsed it a few time we really liked the play.
On Friday as you know we went to the National Theatre which was really fun the theatre was great honestly the best on I've ever been to. Before we went we had a shortened lesson with Rob ,we did a few little excises of acting techniques then we left for the theatre.
