Monday 28th September 09 -
First thing on a Monday morning and what a lesson it was! Straight away we were assigned a new task; to produce a piece in pairs using an extract from Eugène Ionesco’s ‘The Lesson’, could it be that difficult?
This for a change was a piece of theatre which I found easier to work with and produce than the last two performances. I find that once I have something to work with in the way of an understandable script its easier to visualise the scene that you wish to create, creating something from scratch is currently a weakness of mine.
Before we started performing the script we as a group made sure that we were familiar with the nine areas of the stage:
- Stage right, left and centre,
- Up stage right, left and centre
- Down stage right, left and centre
Once me and Georgia who I would be working with were familiar with these areas we were able to make a stage plan for our performance in our journals, as shown in the attached image. We then discussed who would be best allocated each role, the final decision being me as the professor and her as the pupil. Together we then made a start walking through the extract of the script, discussing ideas and make notes on our scripts, which I have also attached.
