First we did Act 4 scene 1 : Josephine, Lucas A, Marine, Mathilde, Roger and Anaëlle played.  Joe gave some advice to Lucas and Josephine to improve the scene (speak louder, the position, gesturing, emotion, action…). Lucas tried to play a donkey but it was difficult for him. Mathilde and Marine worked on their entrance, Marine did somersault and Mathilde turned around. We practised this scene for 1 hour.

During the second hour we did some games: we walked with eyes closed to help Lucas K, Ninon, Alexia and Tim for their characters because they will have to do that in the play for scene 2.

It was interesting to see the improvement between the last session and this session because the actors played better (they got in the mind of the character).  However, some students didn’t play and it was too long for them.

In the last workshop we rehearsed our parts of the play, Hanna helped us with the pronunciation,  the movements and the actions.

We were all really serious and liked it, so we did some choreography  in order for  the play to be more funny and interesting.

At the beginning of the lesson we did some training.  We had to act with the music. For example, if  Hanna put romantic music we had to walk like  romantic people. It was so funny !!!

After we did our parts and listened to the people who said their part, if we wanted we could give some advice on the action.

First, we did warm up games.

We started with “Zip, Zap, Boing!” In that game, we had to be focus on the voice of each other and to be fast and precise. We learned to work as a team and to continue to play even if we made mistakes.

“Show must go on!”

Then, we worked in pairs to pull our partner imagining there was a string between the hand and a part of the body (like the nose) of the other. That game made us put (for example ears, nose, shoulders…) ahead of our body to show if we were proud, powerful or curious.

Finally, these games helped us to interpret our characters according to the different feelings, positions and the speed of the body. For example, if you’re sad you walk slowly and your head is lowered whereas when you’re angry you walk fast and your shoulders are back.
