06/11/2013- first hall rehearsal
We rehearsed in the hall today for the first time and finished off act two, I found being in the hall to be a much better place for rehearsal as it aloud us more space to act in and gave us a sense of how the performance is going to be!
I felt that rehearsals went very well and the greater space aloud for much more movement in the scene, allowing me and liam to show our characters reactions and emotions to seeing each other much more effectively.
The large space that the hall presents us with allows my death scene to be shown much more effectively than when we are in C5 as it allows the space for me to approach Jays character from a distance, showing my characters willingness for martyrdom much better than when I only have five foot of space allowed to me in order to show my characters motives, also it allows Liam the space to show Tom's rage at Casey's death and allows him to keep his attack on Jay in centre stage rather than it drifting to one side as it inevitably does in class due to the lack of space!

Diary log 5/11/2013
Today we did a run through of most of act two and i feel that all in all the rehearsal went well, people seem to now feel relatively confident with all their characters and every is getting used to acting when they have no dialogue rather than just standing silently, dead still on an empty part of the stage!
I feel that the first scene me and tom have together in act two, went well today, I feel me and Liam are beginning to really bounce off each other and understand how our characters bounce off and react to one another! I was also pleasantly surprised to realise I actually knew the majority of the script for this scene- which is always a pleasant surprise!
I think that the scene when i kick the deputy and take the blame for tom went well today because although we had to do a lot of retakes of the fightscene i feel that we now all have a clear idea of how its supposed to go and next time if all goes to plan, it should run smoothly. I think my conversations in this scene with both Tom and Al also went very well as we have rehearsed them quite a few times now and we seem to all bounce off each other quite nicely.
I now understand how best to play the scene where i get arrested which is in fact more calmly than angrily, so next time we rehearse this i believe that my performance in this scene should look better than it did today now I understand this!
I think that the barn dance definitely needs some work, we all seem to know what we are doing its just that few of us seem to have a brilliant sense of rhythm, i feel that with a few more practices we should get it okay; however if we keep the basket we may need a few more than that!
All in all i believe that this lesson went really well and i believe that we managed to get through a lot of stuff and so long as lines get learnt we should be well on our way to having a really successful performance later this month!
