LOVE WINS ALL - DEVISING

Monday 21st of January - We went back to the art black and did some more work on our masks. We were shown by Mrs.Wilkins different techniques on how to shape different features of the mask. She reminded us that the features have to be symmetrical and we always have to consider which way we are looking at the masks so it doesn't create un wanted shadows that could change the whole features of the masks.

Wednesday 23rd of January - AT the beginning of our double lesson Halley showed used different movements that are used in Commedia. There was the 8 different directions, reflection of movement, lunges and hand gestures on different jumps. For the rest of our double lesson we worked on our commedia piece. We started by going through each scene and improvising. I am a Zanni so my job is to make the audience laugh at jokes and join in but without Lydia there who is also a Zanni it was a bit hard to just do jokes on my own. We all worked together and came up with a rough draft so we could perform it to Lydia and Mr.Fearnehough the next day. We got loads of good ideas and lots of technical music and sound ideas that we really got into and really want to use.


Thursday 24th of January-  We did the run through the rough draft of our  Commedia piece 'Love Wins All' We then went through it with Mr.Fearnehough and Lydia and we discussed what were the positives things of the piece and what could be worked on. In all:
- we need to remember what scene is when
- We need to define are characters better.
- We need more audience participation.
-  Zanni and Lazzi have to have more jokes.
