Jane Lesley was our guest tutor this week and she came in specifically to work with the students on their rehearsed readings for our final presentation. The Juniors had a 2nd read through of ‘A Birthday Surprise’, which we then cast; and then, after a bit of editing, we ‘blocked’ most of the play. The Seniors decided to work on a small section of ‘Sunday Morning at the Centre of the World’ rather than try to tackle the whole piece and devised a very strong, stylised openeing to what is quite a challenging play. We also looked at ‘believability’ in performance by doing the exercise ‘Who’s Telling The Truth?’; where the audience hears 3 different tellings of the same event and has to work who the story belonged to originally and who’s acting!
