Reading and ideas

Reading and ideas

In the first week of preparing for the wolves of Willoughby chase we done some wolf like movements similar to the stuff we done in the physical theatre show. I enjoyed doing this because we later input it into the intro chorus and it will show people that we haven’t forgotten about physical theatre and that we still like to explore and develop it further. After that we split up into two different groups and read through the entire script with people playing more than one character to see what it were like to be those characters. Later on we got the whole class together and discussed who would like to play which character; we done this by naming characters and whoever wanted to play them we made them both say a line from the script, then we would vote which one we preferred to be the character. Once we all had characters we got the whole class together and ran through the script again with people playing the character with their character voice to slowly help them develop that character. Even though we might not get that character it was still good to learn how to develop a character from that time period early instead of doing it when we got cast.

  1. This is a good first entry - you have covered the first explorations of the physical theatre we will do in this piece, as well as script readthroughs, which are common to the beginning of any professional play.

  2. You could add to this by saying what your response/opinion was when you read the play for the first time.
