Full day of rehearsal and show day 17/12/14

Today we went through the first scene and planned all of the lighting and music queues. For the first scene it was decided that when our areas were not lit that we would be in a freeze frame. I think that this worked well as it did not draw attention away from the scenes that were happening, and told the audience where the action was taking place.

After this we then managed to get in a full run through of the play, this entailed in starting inside with all props, set lights and music. We then rehearsed it with the audience exiting and which way we would all go into the performance space outside. Over all the run outside went well and made me more confident of my lines and what I was to be doing, without stopping. The only problem that arose for me was my props and where and when I needed them. This then slowed down the run, however to get around this before the shows I made my self a props set list. on this list it told me where all of my props needed to be before we started and where or who I needed to give them to after I had used them. Most of my props started off behind the bakery bar in my bag which I collect half way through scene 1. I also planned with Paris (Mystery Man) that we would place the money sack in a bush backstage on exit 5 at the start of the show, so that it was already there at the start of scene 4. During this rehearsal I also saw a problem in my bag. which my character wears in every scene, and was not sure what to do with it during songs and dances. It was then decided that I would keep it on and then see how this worked out during the first shows.
