Today we took part in set designing (scenic design is the creation of theatrical, as well as film or television scenery), which is part of our course. It enables us to understand the work that goes into building a set and props.
Then, we blocked (blocking is a theatre term that refers to the precise movement and positioning of actors on a stage in order to facilitate the performance of a play) through Act One of 'The Cinderella Pantomime' again in order for the director to make final changes, adjustments etc. This did not include the dances, but I did run through these during my free time at college.
I found that I was more conscious of my facial expressions and therefore, I barely ever had a neutral face, which makes me look moody and miserable. If I open my eyes wide and lift my eyebrows, my character appears more friendly. I also put a greater level of energy into this performance, than in the past, so it is important to keep this energy consistent.
