Today we started our 4th extract from A View From The Bridge. We started on the 4th one because not everyone was in the lesson. Therefore we took people from other extracts for them to stand in and were directed by the people who were not in the extract since there were no more roles to fill in.
This took a while to try to put together because some people were not focused and also others were late. So we had then started with someone acting as one character, then the actual person playing that character came in and we all had to change about and tell him what to do.
The extract is two pages and a half and is also the first time we will meet Rodolpho and Marco who have come to America from Italy and are trying to get money in order to send it back to their families for food.
We set out the stage and planned where the kitchen, bedroom and front door would be so we could act properly in the area. This was only confusing because we had a lot of chairs about where we had set out where each room was. People would then be sitting on the chairs or move them about. We over came this by telling people strictly where they had to go and that they had to be quiet because we needed to get this done. Our group are more into talking and annoying one another than actually rehearsing. But once we told them that we really did have to do this scene in order to perform it and that we needed to keep going with our work, not keep stopping because people can't focus enough.
