Rehearsal evaluation

The main problem with our rehearsals so far is working out the box transitions. I think I haven't made enough notes on what the box transitions should be and what positions it should be in. For me this is because I have struggled to fuly visualise the box and how it will look onstage when it is fully built. However, I'm not actually required to move the box more than once, therefore more people need to be making notes of where the box should be in every scene and who needs to move it.

There are a few scenes where I know the lines but the line order is what I struggle with. This in particular is in the scene where Sarah kills Ruby. This is holding me back from really engaging in the scene and I think I need to spend more time re learning those lines. 

I think I have spent a lot of time researching my character which has helped inform my choices. However, I don't think I have applied enough to the character in order to create an interesting performance therefore I would say I'm currently working at a merit level of performance and rehearsal.

On Wednesday we had a rehearsal without our director. We had our stage managers there which helped us to stay organised. I think tensions were high and a lot of people weren't focused enough. It was tricky to make people give their full energy when it was just other students in the room. However, after running it did start to feel like a play people might want to watch.
