Transitions

Today in lessons we worked on more transitions, this time on moving from a semi circle into different motions on stage, the first transition is when we are in a semi circle and then Sav, Sophia and I, (Mena, Florrie and Lucy) move into a picture when given the cue by Jonathan to move into freeze frame, we then keep the same gestures and facial expressions just like we were in a picture that Dracula was looking at, Dracula then walks round, obviously taking a shine to my character, Lucy, you can see this by the amount of attention he gives her, touching, stroking and gently nibbling on her neck, this is showing sexual desire, something of which will become clearer later in the play.

Another Transition is when we are again back to our semi circle and then Dracula says "Listen, listen to the children of the night", in which were then surround her, making wolf noises and acting as wolves, again giving the scene more atmosphere. At this point Jonathan is clearly getting increasingly nervous, you can tell by the facial expressions in which he uses. We then are given numbers and put into groups and number 3s which is what I am are to repeat the third word spoken by Dracula loudly, obviously symbolising we are her followers.




Then to the last transition we created today, being when Dracula mentions "Books" In which we get up and build another character, in a busy atmosphere walking around the busy streets of "London Crowds" page 26
