We began to do more in detail work on scene 4 today, I feel that this scene is very significant to the show, as this is where it all comes together, The Baker and his wife get a new cow and the slipper and give all of the objects to the Witch so that the curse can be lifted.
in the first unit of scene 4 my characters objective is to move on and start searching for a new cow, my character seems very controlling by ordering the Bakers Wife into going to find another cow and gives her a bean and tells her to "Tell them its magic". I delivered these lines with enthusiasm as my character knows that there is not much time left to get the items, My character then turns very cold, when it is suggested that he goes to find a new cow as he feels that the roles have been reversed and that he doesn't have much of the control in the relationship any more. This is where the it becomes clear to an audience that the Baker cares so much for his family and having a happy life, that he would even turn on his wife, and say something that is very personal to her. By doing extra work on these lines, I tried to say the line " Then resign yourself to a childless life". In lots of different way, by changing the pace and volume, I felt that I worked best saying it fast and loud as if my character didn't mean to say to his wife, and that I just slipped out at the spur of the moment. As I didn't feel it right to say it slow and quiet in a dark and mean way, as my character is mean he just wants a family and what is best for his wife, not to hurt or push her away.
After this scene my character is in the dance in the background of Stay With Me. In this dance we have to keep our movements slow and flowing, as we want to look mesmerising and not draw attention away from the Witch and Rapunzel. However still keeping our characterisation from the other scenes, where we are scared of the woods and what may lay ahead.
