This was our first rehearsal since the Easter break however, I could tell that both girls had really worked on their lines and built their characters further. They were a lot more comfortable in the role so I felt confident when they were performing it.
I still felt as though their gestures were a little lazy and the scene was dull without them so I stopped them whenever I felt this and made them start again. This was a good technique as I began to see the evil intent in Hedda's eyes and the vulnerability and desperation in Mrs Elvstead. To highlight Hedda's malicious mind set I decided to make Ellie stir the tea whilst she was asking Mrs Elvstead questions; it was a metaphor for stirring trouble up.
Overall I felt that the actors had really progressed over the Easter break and I felt confident with them performing. However, in the class the next day they wanted to perform the week after to give themselves an extra advantage and find out what we had to work on in the following week.
