Production Day 17th

These were just some notes I wrote down during Production Day and we were given actor notes:

Notes:

- Talk about the goats, tents & your own story (dragon) to the audience when they come in or else the goats won't make any sense

- Pick up the pace of the whole show, quick, snappy - One extreme to the other

- Hand King&Queen - Resources (both hands Jakko & Charlotte), Faith (my hands over cross Jakko's and Charlotte's), Freedom (all of our hand waving up in the air), Blackout (all hands go down, apart from I stay up there until Victor has sung his song)

- React to Hamlet (Dan, waffel)

- Reacting facial expressions to actions - Buto walk, army like - War

- Head down - "The story ends in a FUNERAL"

- Prepare paper&pen and put into the tents before the audience come in (before the show starts)

- Pronounce every word, slow down, it's all about diction (I wondered if we could watch back the shows that we have done to see what we are doing wrong/right? - Would be very helpful)

- At the end of the show say, take a bow, thank Dee, thank Production team and Chefs who created the soup

Ideas:

- Why don't we separate into two lines for the buto walk - the same lines we are in for the boat when we meet Hamlet?

Audience thoughts:

- They wondered why we didn't get the goats from outside and put them into our tents when they were singing their song? We told them that we could go out there as Grendel's mum is coming and we didn't want them to get eaten.
