Hi again,
I’m Daisy and I am directing “Breathless” by Kate Goodall.
We have just finished the blocking process of our Rehearsal and this coming Saturday we are running through the whole play without scripts. This will help enable the actors to see how it flows and their journeys throughout the play. The run will also be with costume which will make it look like a more cohesive piece so will help me understand what I need to work on with my actors to achieve my vision.
My trust has gone. My faith has diminished. So I aim high, knowing that it’s further to fall. Knowing that I am falling and falling. Breathless from the drop.
As we are half way through the term we have also started to finalise our technical arrangements in our plays. I have a very basic requirement as I have no sound throughout and my actors stay on stage for the duration of the piece. Therefore I have tried to make the lighting reflect the mood of the piece by using cooler and warmer toned lights at various point throughout the play. I hope that this helps the audience to see the atmosphere of the scenes so they feel immersed in the play.
