Ensemble

The theatre ensemble in our piece is crucial to the success of the final performance. 

Write your own definition of what ensemble means in theatre.

What has to happen in the rehearsal room to develop a successful ensemble?

Write about your favourite ensemble moment so far. Write at least 4 sentences to explain why. 

Pictures of an ensemble in Julius Caesar.

Today we focused on creating Tale 3 and the start of Tale 4.
Write at least 4 sentences to answer each question:

TALE 3

• How have we decided to stage Tale 3? 
• What characters do you play in this tale? 
• What is the atmosphere of Tale 3? How is this different to what we have created for Tale 1 & 2?

TALE 4

• How have we decided to stage Tale 4? 
• What characters do you play in this tale? 

Further questions...

• What acting skills have you continued to develop over the past few weeks? Is there anything new you have discovered about your own skills?
• Return to all of the sections of the text we have staged so far. Select a line from each that sums up that tale.

As well as keeping your blog up to date you need to:

LEARN ALL LINES that have already been given to you.

On Monday you will be given an edited script, you need to read this ready for the rehearsal on Thursday. I would like to finish blocking Tale 4 and 5. We will then run from the start. We then have 4 weeks after the Christmas break to complete the piece and polish it.
