In todays lesson we began looking into scene one again yet in a lot more depth and accuracy. As we had already done the blocking we knew where we were going to enter, exit and stand. So now we could look into conveying the meaning of the words and start to think about how we were to say them.
We started of by focusing on the opening sequence, and getting all of the timings right. When we first did our blocking me and Bryleah (Bakers Wife) mimed making the bread and taking it to the ovens. However when we revisited this in developing I felt that it looked very repetitive and dragged on a bit. So we changed it up by making some bread, mopping the floors and cleaning the surfaces. In rehearsal I find it hard to get into this sequence as we don't have any props yet and the work bench is not there. Yet with the props and set I think I could really get into the character of the Baker being this friendly, loving, hard working man.
Later on in the scene my peers felt that when the Witch came in that The Baker and his Wife were together to much and that the Baker should break away from her and get closer to the Witch. I did this on the line "I had a brother". On this line I walk towards the Witch to help show the interest of my character that I may have possible family.
