What can I say? The end of week one and we’re pumped as never before experienced by what’s left of our 2006 class.  Our script has been chosen, roles been set and we’re ready to perform like professionals. The script chosen ‘After Dinner’ encompasses the humour of Adult themes yet allows it to be tidied up for an audience of all ages. The scene is set at a bistro in the late 1980’s as 3 women and a couple of men find their way sitting parallel to one another. The conversations that take place are sometimes quick paced and guaranteed to raise the roof. The idea of the play is to engage the audience on a realism most likely never done before in a Scopus production.

So far the lighting is going pretty well in terms of research.  I have found a number of interesting techniques but unfortunately due to a lack of knowledge i have not thrown myself on top of one particular idea. The text book examples  (which happen to be of ‘After Dinner’) really gave me some great ideas but i have yet to put them down to paper (mainly because i cant draw for shit).

Acting is somewhat a lesser role for me as i have no talking parts in the play, which can be said to make life a lot easier. However, i do believe i will be working as hard as anyone else of the other performers. I have to make sure the audience can relate to the same experiences that they might have had with a rude and downright prick of a waiter.

I have given myself the task of updating this blog at least once a week but i will most likely have to pile on the blogs when the load of work starts to get to much to keep in me

Until next time,
