Starting the play 

Before we got given our characters and started rehearsing the play we had a couple of classes to read through the script and get to grips with the play, when I first read through the script it was a little confusing at first, with all the characters and the storyline etc, but after a while I soon understood the play and how effective the piece was, so overall I was really excited about this piece as it was really different than the other performances I have done before. it is filled with great characters with different personalities, even if they are not a 'big' part for example I was really excited when I got given the role as a raider because I got to explore using different acting techniques to portray my character, using my body language, facial expressions, projection at full capacity at all times. After we read through the script we had to go in groups of 3-5 in which we got given one scene so we could give our own ideas about the scene to the class, which proved to be really effective as we used a lot of those ideas in the performance, making it more of a class effort.
