Working As An Ensemble - 22/01/15

Working as an ensemble cast requires helping each other to make a play the best it can be and to be a part of each others scenes. This can require a lot of hard work and effort as it is difficult to respond and work with so many people. However, if you manage to pull it off, having a large cast can work very well.
We continued to polish the prologue scene to try and make it better. As a cast, we all continued to share ideas and try new things to improve the scene. Ms Lee also helped to direct Tale 3, where the lines were divided out between the class and we were all given a job to fulfil. For example, a few of us were window cleaners and others were carpenters. This gives the audience a feel of what jobs some people may have in the East End. The scene worked well as we were all doing different things, but it didn't look tacky and messy. Some lines would all be said together (for example - "A bit of everything"), and other lines would be said by certain characters in the play. This meant that we were able to play around with the vocals and levels of voice in the play to make it sound like the East End. I think that now the play is starting to take shape, soon we will be able to confidently perform it to an audience.
