Workshop of scene from The Revenger's Tragedy. It was good to see the two students who could be playing a romantic couple in their devised piece being so relaxed with each other.
A few shocked faces at the end when I suggested grades for this term could be decided by the strength of their audition pieces tells me that perhaps some have not thought through the consequences of asking to be examined on their acting skills.
It seems hopeful now that we will find another rehearsal space. The pattern of lessons for next year will, therefore, be something like 2 rehearsals, 1 flexible fifth and 2 teacher directed sessions. The students still have a short while to make up their minds about what they want the flexible 5th to be.
12.3 have decided to use the time for additional workshops on Tartuffe, leading up to a workshop performance of selected scenes in October '09.
12.1 may opt for this too, or it may even be that individual groups within 12.1 opt to workshop different texts.
What ever they choose, the criteria are the same: It must be something which cannot be considered "homework" (e.g. it CANNOT be writing essays or researching on the net) and it must be aimed at improving their understanding of theatre.

What's All This?
Everyday I have hundreds of conversations with staff and students. I would like to think that each and every one of them is super-important. Some of them certainly are. The purpose of this blog is to record some of the verbal decisions and ideas that would otherwise be lost.
Please read regularly and try to keep up. Especially read the notes on other groups' projects because they will shed light on your own processes. I obviously welcome comments and would encourage you to both read and post comments.
Cheers!
