Directors Notes; 27th February 2009



All in all, a Brilliant day!
The first third was great - very few prompts, and everyone seems to be on top form. Same goes for the last third! The middle third needs a bit of work, with regards to line learning etc. but the bottom line is this;

I'm really pleased with where we're at. That doesn't mean that any of us can sit back and rest on our laurels, we've got a tough two weeks ahead of us, but it's also going to be a really fun two weeks. I can - for the first time - see the play in my mind's eye and it looks pretty good!

Some general notes for all;
VOLUME - Practice your Diaphragm breathing to get the volume our of your voices.
DICTION - Don't forget, there are 21 consonants in the English Language!
PACE - Not speed! Don't rush your lines, just don't leave gaps BETWEEN the lines.

I'm really looking forward to the next three (Agh!) rehearsals, and of course, the actual show!

Mr. Harris
