9th to the 13th November 2015

Our countries good 
 We recently have started a new play called Our countries good , I've been given the role of Ralph  an actor taking part in a play. My scene is having a conversation with my director , its about me wanting not to be in the play anymore and my director is trying to convince me to stay in the performance. My objectives is try to not be in the performance but my director is trying to persuade me to stay in it. So I must try tell him I don't want to be in it  ,avoiding confrontation.

Right now I'm learning my lines , my process for this is doing it in the mirror watching my self act , it helps to put me in zone as myself as the audience. Also another way I learn my lines look at it say it to myself and if I forget I just take another look and keep doing till it sticks in my head.

Recently with Rob we performed it to him and he tuned it for us giving me and my partner direction, my partner Segun plays a character Philip. Seguns character is yammering on about wanting me to stay in the production but talking absolute nonsense to my character , I'm just there thinking in my head what the hell is he talking about? I must show this through my characters facial expressions this is very key. Mostly my teacher Rob told me like he always does play off the other characters.

My aim for this play is to play this character to perfection and take everything Rob gives me and utilize this  to the best of my ability. As an actor everything your told you it must be synced in to your brain , you must remained focused the whole way through you to the standards your expected to and move forward with everything you do.
