Quick Notes On Run Through + What I learnt

Run through of act 1, run through lines, overall quite good, productive, people wanting too many inputs so too many stops should have just run right through, help with transitions and we are all responsible for each other and need to know what we are doing in each scene however we hadn't run the scene in a long time

We did a complete run through of act 2, from being very behind in work we have caught up very well, however we could definitely work on complicity and being more focused in general I think it doesn't help that some of us are unsure of what we are doing in every scene but we are to be responsible for ourselves, I am no exception

I think lines are some that hold us back as a group and that without learning our lines we can never do an actual rehearsal because if you're still on lines it would just be reading, having said this on a strong point and not to be condratictory to what I said before, we do, do very well in complicity we just need to improve it further for example our breathing really helps, (breathing through our noses dying Lucy's death scene) this way we can all be aware when to start singing and it makes for a more effective performance.

Today I lessons we worked on more transitions especially between the change over of the 2 Lucys... Lucy and I, we decided upon the idea that everybody would collapse putting the emphasis on The second Lucy, she would then put her hand out to me while  collapsed and I get up and advance towards the stairs in which Dracula joins me, Lucy and I both sit on the block on the top flight of stairs with our back facing the audience, while Dracula then covers us with what will be a cape, therefore enabling a changeover of characters that the audience can see, the final changeover is when Lucy and I get up we see the same line together being "" and then I collapse and the audience see the second Lucy, identified as the more evil Lucy now takes over, this also signifies the death of the old Lucy, the innocent Lucy.
