Week Eleven:


4 April 2012:


I spent this week rehearsing my solo piece and using the time to learn my lines.   During the rehearsal process I experimented with the rhythm of speaking to see if it goes with the words being said.  I also tried to work on the movement of the piece.  I found it really hard at first to get into the habit of saying the words and doing the movements at the same time.  When I tried it out the first few times I found that I either stopped speaking when doing the movements or I didn't do the movements as I was speaking.  After a few tries it seemed to get better although I found myself anticipating the cue for the movement to come in.

I also tried working with the prop of the tarot cards and that again proved slightly difficult.  When doing the piece using a table to lay the cards out I found it a bit too static because once behind the table there was not much room to move.  I tried it by turning the cards and then running to the center to do the movement but that again just looked like I was running into the center for no reason.
