learning to improve the rehearsal process for the next unit


  • Costume - helps get into your character and makes the play more real 
  • Poise, never pause- don't pause on your words, but poise because it keeps the audience engagded 
  • Use a confident overlap in transitions - means that there are no lulls where the audience can become less engagded 
  • Don't fidget- brings you out of your character and is distracting for the audience 
  • Make the best use of your performance space- makes it more visually interesting for the audience
  • Adapt the play when going into a different space- to make sure it suits the audience's position.
  • Project - easier and clearer for the audience
  •  A lull in the play needs to be earned- do this so that it has significance, instead of it just feeling like the actors have just dropped energy
  • When receiving directions, don't drop energy - makes progress very slow
  • When you come back from a break make sure you are in the same mind set that you were in before the break- makes it easier to rehearse
