Show Review- Les Misérables

On the 9th July 2016, I saw Les Misérables at the Queens Theatre in London. This was the second time I had seen this production, however, the cast had changed and I was excited to see different interpretations of individual characters by the actors, and the different choices they had made. I really enjoyed the whole performance and I felt that it lived up to the first time I saw the piece, even though I knew what to expect in the story. One strong skill that really stood out to me, from the whole cast, was their physical clarity in their movements. I personally felt that this aided the audience’s understanding of what was going on, especially in scenes in the barricade as they audience could imagine what was happening from the other side, even though we could only see the actors ducking and shooting towards the back of the stage. I also feel that the actors’ physical clarity helped to show character development as the play jumps to different years. The actors adapted their gait and physicality to show how each character aged but made sure to keep some similarities, so that they were clearly recognisable. I personally feel that Peter Lockyer, who played Jean Valjean, was very strong when it came to this as his character changes so much within the piece. The way he changed his physicality, told the audience how he was feeling and made us connect and relate to him.

Another strong point in this piece was the characters’ emotions. The actors made these emotions clear to the audience, while also making them and the scenes feel real and believable. It was clear to see how each character felt about one another and also their intentions within each scene. This made funny moments, like the song ‘Master of the House’, very funny and uplifting for the audience, while also making other moment, such as ‘Little Fall of Rain’ very emotional and allowed the actors to put their characters messages across.

Overall, I felt that this was a very strong, real performance, which lived up to and exceeded my expectations. I particularly enjoyed Jeremy Secomb’s performance as Inspector Javert as I felt that he had a completely different take on Javert that I not seen, or considered before. I am excited to see this piece in the future with a different cast and see how the piece has developed for them.

Show Review – The Clockmaker’s Daughter

On the 15th August 2016, I saw ‘The Clockmaker’s Daughter’ at the Minack Theatre in Porthcurno, Cornwall. This is a musical, telling the story of a man who makes a clockwork girl after his wife suddenly dies. This clockwork girl comes to life and after a series of events becomes very loved in the town, although nobody knows she is made of clockwork. The piece reminded me a lot of a musical fairytale version of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ as it is told to the audience that the lovers in the piece will ‘die’ at the end. I really liked this set up as every time you saw these characters and fell in love with them, you were reminded of their inevitable fate.

I think that this piece was really well performed and the actors kept the attention of the audience throughout, which was very tricky as the theatre is located outdoors on the side of the cliff with boats always being able to be seen somewhere in the distance. All of the actors really felt ‘in’ the piece and I feel that this helped the audience to believe in the magic of the story.

I feel that Megan Brown who played Constance, the clockwork girl, was particularly strong in this performance and showed how her character developed and learned how to blend in with the rest of her town. Megan Brown created a likeable character and showed her characters innocence, making the audience like her more. While the character picked up human mannerisms throughout the piece, Megan Brown continually reminded the audience that Constance was clockwork through small breaks in certain movements, making her character more believable. This then made her fate, (of breaking and never being able to come alive again) much more heartbreaking.

Overall, I really enjoyed the piece and hope to see more shows by this company again.

Overall Evaluation for the ‘Li’l Abner’ Process

In this process my regular company has been combined with 3 other companies to work on the end of year show ‘Li’l Abner’. Li’l Abner is a musical, based upon an old American comic strip by Al Capp. It surrounds the story of a hillbilly town that is awarded the most unnecessary town in the USA, meaning it shall be bombed. The plot follows Li’l Abner Yokum and his family in their attempts to save their town alongside their unusual customs. Since the musical is based off of a comic strip, the characters are very cartoonish and larger than life. I feel that through this process, I gained many skills in dance and also in slapstick comedy and I feel that this will be useful to me in future projects

I think that this was a very successful project and I really enjoyed the whole process. I feel that I benefitted a lot from this process and that I leaned many new skills. I also learnt a lot about what it takes to be in musical theatre and how much larger and more exaggerated this is as opposed to naturalistic theatre. I feel that throughout this process, due to the amount of singing and dancing involved, I improved my stamina and I feel that I can use this in all of my future work, regardless of whether it is musical theatre or not. I bonded a lot with other members in my company and I feel that this was the same for many company members and that this could be shown through the quality of work we have produced and the general positive and supportive vibes of rehearsals.

I think that the most successful moment for me was opening night, as I feel that this is when I could really appreciate all of the hard work that the whole company, tech team, band and directors had all put in. I feel that we created a comedic atmosphere and that the audience were on our side, appreciating this work. I also feel that in this performance, I did not worry so much about what I was doing, and instead, let my character react, and even through multiple hiccups and small problems,  I still feel that I stayed in character and that I helped to cover these well. I feel that, while my movements and reactions were heightened, this made my characters seem more realistic and relatable as I was using genuine character reactions rather than over thinking this. I feel that in the show, we were able to still play inside our characters and think about different tactics in order to achieve the same thing. I also feel that in the shows I was able to see how much my confidence has risen throughout this process when exploring heightened movement and dance.

One unsuccessful moment for our company was that we were sometimes lazy when it came to drilling dances and scenes and this meant that we did not put all of our energy into our characters. This affect the rhythm of the scenes and also meant that our character intentions were not as clear, meaning that the audience would not understand what was currently happening in the piece and how the characters felt about this. This would also mean that we would often lose the cartoon sense of the piece as our actions would become very small and naturalistic. This also affected dances as we would not add character, meaning they would become flat and messy. This is very boring to watch and I feel that we dealt with this problem quite well as we later made a rule that whenever we ran dances and scenes we would always try to use our full energy so that we could continue to develop the dances and scenes and also our character reactions within them.

I feel that one unsuccessful moment for me was quite early on when beginning to use heightened movement to develop my secretary character. I found this very difficult as I was very used to naturalistic acting. I also felt as though I was getting stuck in scenes, not knowing what to do and being uncomfortable and not confident in using heightened movement to express myself. After researching the style of the play and talking with other actors in the same scenes as me, I found ways of slowly exploring this new style of acting and I feel that I did become much more confident with this as the process progressed. Inside of my small group, I was able to come up with ideas in which we could use movement and also adapt other people’s ideas so that they made sense in a scene, reflected our characters and also looked good onstage.

I feel that I have gained many skills throughout this process while looking at the style of this pieces and I feel that I was able to apply the appropriate skills to my work when I needed to. I feel that I have improved my stamina throughout this process through dance rehearsals and the general energetic nature of this piece. I feel that this was a gradual improvement and it was not until the end of the process, when reflecting back, that I really noticed this. I think that I will be able to use this skill in many other processes and I hope to continue to build upon this skill in future projects as I feel it is a valuable skill to have. I also feel that I have improved my dance and singing abilities in this process as I have been in many dancing and singing workshops. I feel very confident in how to warm up my body and voice and this is a key part of any show but I feel it is especially important in shows as fast paced as Li’l Abner. I have become much more confident in these skills and I feel that I can apply this to wider skills such as heightened movement and vocal quality in the future when creating characters. Even though dance is not strictly related to character, I feel that I can use some aspects such as pace, fluidity and height when looking at characters in scenes, in order to make them more interesting to watch. One other skill that I feel I have improved up in this process is my accent. At the start of this process, I was finding accents very difficult and I felt that it was something that you could either do, or you couldn’t and that they were very hard to learn. However, after some accent sessions, I found that by breaking down individual sounds that occur within the accent, I was able to start using the accent. I continued to work on this whenever I could and I feel that this helped me to add the accent into dialogue and into songs. I feel that this breaking down technique really helped me and I plan to use it more in the future to explore other accents.

I feel that throughout this process, we really bonded as a company and this was very useful when creating work as you trusted the people you were working with. It also allowed us to try out new ideas and take risks without the fear of being judged as there everyone was respectful and supportive. I feel that this was a big strength of our company as even when the process got tough everyone would always be supporting one another and helping one another out. Even though it did not seem like it at points due to stress and a lack of focus, we often showed this company bond when quickly running dances or going through songs before rehearsals so that we did not have to take time out of rehearsals to do so. I feel that being in this large company was very daunting for me at first especially as I was not particularly confident in the cartoon, slapstick style of the piece but I really feel that through working and bonding with this company I was able to improve my skills and my confidence when working n this piece.

I feel that I was very strong in coming up with ideas for myself and my group. I feel that the group of secretaries, that I was in, were all very strong in this and this allowed us to bounce ideas off of one another and try them out. I feel that this was really useful in developing my character as I could think about how my character would react in all of these ideas, whether they were used in the final piece or not. I also think that by doing this I was able to improve my physical clarity and show my emotions and inner thought process t certain situations without actually saying anything.

One of the main weaknesses I feel that we had as a company was our focus. Sometimes we were very focussed and this allowed us to take risks with our work and produce good work efficiently. However, when our focus was bad, it would drastically affect this. Sometimes the lack of focus became very contagious and all it would take was one person to be unfocussed and this would eventually be passed around the company, as opposed to just reminding the person to be focussed. I feel that we did improve with this as the process went on, however, I do not feel that this issue was fully resolved. In future processed, I think that we should all take it upon ourselves to be focused before entering a rehearsal space as this way we will not run into this problem.

I feel that something that I did begin to improve, however, I feel could be improved upon more in the future is my physical clarity. Especially in heightened pieces like Li’l Abner, it is very important to have very clear physical clarity as this can tell the audience how your character is feeling or even a character trait. I feel that if I had done this more in this process, I could have tried experimenting even more with my movement in the piece, especially in scenes with no dialogue, like the Sadie Hawkins Day Race.

If I had more time to work on this process, I feel that I would have looked closer into how my characters act towards people they dislike. I did begin to explore this; however, I feel that I could have done this more as I mainly focussed on the complete opposite. I also think that I would have looked closer at habits that my characters had and how this related to the emotions they were feeling. I feel that this would have made both of my characters more believable and also would have helped me in developing my character further.

I feel that our final performances are going very well and that they are suitable for our target audiences. I feel that we have been creating funny, positive and cartoon-like atmospheres that all help to show the style of the piece and tell its story. I feel that the audiences have been very engaged with the piece and that their response has been very positive, meaning that our characters were detailed and had clarity so that the plot could be told.

Overall, I really enjoyed this process and I am really enjoying the performances so far. I feel that I have gained many new skills that I can apply when looking at comedic, larger than life scenes and I also think that I have gained many new skills surrounding characterisation that I can adapt to multiple different genres in order to create a character that the audience can relate to. I am very excited to work on our next process after summer and I hope that I can use all of the skills that I have learnt, not only in this process, but throughout this year to create a high standard of work and to have fun while doing so.

Show Review - 29th June 2016

I feel that today’s show went much more smoothly than the show yesterday. Although there were still a few mistakes that were made. Although there were less mistakes in this show, I feel that we did not create the same atmosphere and connection with the audience as we had done yesterday. I think that the actors in my company were a bit wary of the audience as they did not laugh as much as the other audience that we had had, and I feel that this slightly discouraged us, meaning that we did not create as much of a cartoon atmosphere than the other show. Having said this, I felt much more confident in this show as everyone seemed much more focused and this resulted in less technical mistakes with entrances, exits and moving the set. I feel confident that we can continue to improve these in the following shows and that we can continue to add to our characters to make them more heightened and cartoon-like in order to create the slapstick atmosphere.

Show Review 28th June 2016

Today was the opening night of our performance of ‘Li'l Abner’. Today’s performance had quite a few hiccups, however, I feel like we all covered these mistakes quite well. I was surprised about how much more of an atmosphere we seemed to create in show and I feel that this was because we had an audience to play with. This allowed us to see what worked and what scenes were funny to watch. Through getting an outside audience reaction, I think that this has boosted the companies confidence in the comedy of the piece. I personally think that in this run, I used the skills I had learned about heightening my physicality and the slapstick style of the piece an I feel that this really paid off and that the audience really enjoyed the performance. I hope that we can learn from the mistakes that we all made in this performance and focus on them before the show so that we can try to fix as many of these as possible.

Daily Account for Tuesday 28th June 2016

Today was the final day of rehearsals before the show opened. We began the day by working closer on the transitions of act one. It is vital that these transitions are smooth as this helps the scenes flow and ensures that the audience do not loose interest in what is going on. It is also important as it affects the pace of the piece. We adapted certain entrances and exits so that these transitions could be as smooth as the could possibly be. After doing this, we briefly looked at 'Matrimonial Stomp' and ran this scene as we had not ran this as much as other parts of the performance. I feel that this went well as it allowed people to try out new ideas and see how these would work in this scene. We then did the final dress run before the show opened to the public. This dress run had many mistakes and this panicked many people as things that had been going perfectly, we're not not working so well. I feel that this was down to many things, however, I feel that nerves and excitement for the show later on played a big part in this. I personally feel that there were some mistakes in this run that I could have covered better, but I feel that other than the few major problems, this dress run went quite well.

Daily Account for Monday 27th June 2016

Today we began by teching the rest of the show. While teching these scenes, we also worked closer on them and developed them in the rehearsal space. I enjoyed doing this as Io became more confident in how these scenes worked in the space. I especially enjoyed working on the final scene as we had not looked at this much at all and so I felt that this was the first time that we were actually finishing the piece. The company focus was not as good as it should have been when working on these scenes and this added to the time that we were waiting around and drilling the scenes for sound and lighting cues. I feel that although the tech process has been long and tiring for all of our company, there was a very positive atmosphere when this came to a close. This positive atmosphere was very useful later on in the day when it came to our first dress run. I feel that this dress run was successful for multiple reasons. Firstly I think that we all brought a lot of energy to the stage and that this really helped us keep up the pace of the scenes. I also feel that I brought a lot of character and that we did not run into too many major problems onstage, and I feel that we all recovered well when there was a problem. I also feel that this was a successful dress run as it pointed out multiple problems surrounding entrances and exits and other backstage issues. I feel that many of these are easily solvable problems and I know that many of the problems I discovered for myself today, was due to looking at something from a new perspective and adapting some aspects in order to overcome these. I feel that it is important to think about these problems and work through them in rehearsal as it is in this time that you are able to make mistakes and fund different ways in which you can solve them. After this dress run, I feel that people are very excited for final rehearsals and opening night tomorrow.

Criteria question

Compare your original role of you character where they start to how far they have developed till this point in the process.Where can you go from here to develop them further?

[l3miskinactors15-16]

Evening everyone, Joe kindly volunteered me to create the link on disqus for us to post our pictures however I have no clue how to do that so I’m going to post it on here and if anyone else would be able to create a chat that would be great.

My Photo would be used in Act 1 Scene 8 after Appassonata says “Yeah, you can read all about me in Confidential.” This “Ooolala” would pop up behind her and be said by Bullmoose’s securities.

Weekly Evaluation for the Week Beginning 20th June 2016

This was the final rehearsal week before show week and mainly focussed on the technical aspects of the show. We spent the majority of the week looking at the music, sound effects and lighting for the whole show and what may have to be adapted so that these cues make sense in the show. Although this was a long process, I really enjoyed doing this as this was the final element of the show that we needed to add before opening night. The sound and lighting is not completely finished, however, the show is almost complete and this has made me even more excited for opening night.

I feel that this week has been very stressful for our company as we have adapted many scenes and changed some aspects of the show like Sadie Hawkins Day and I feel that it is very important to retain these changes as we only have a limited time to rehearse them. Personally, I feel that I lost some of my physical clarity in the Sadie Hawkins Day Race so I plan to really focus on this in the next rehearsal. I also feel that over the next rehearsal, I should think closely to the order of the race as it has been changed and some sections have been cut, meaning that I am not doing as much as I am before. I do feel, however, that I have found my purpose onstage in the race and I feel that I am making my intentions clearer. I feel that this will help the plot as I am part of Bullmoose’s group trying to catch Abner.

I feel that I also re-explored my Dogpatcher character this week when looking at ‘Matrimonial Stomp’ and the final scene of the play. I really enjoyed looking at this scene as this was the only scene that we had not looked at, so it finally felt as though the show was beginning to come together. I tried to explore my physicality more and thought about my characters thought process in the scene, seeing as she is in on the joke to stop Earthquake and Daisy Mae from getting married. I feel that in order to develop my character in this scene more, I need to re-establish the character relationships that I have made in other scenes as this would make a lot of sense.

Overall, I feel that this week has been very successful and has required a lot of patience, as it takes a long time to add in technical cues to scenes, however, this will all pay off when we do a dress run and also when the show opens next week. I feel that I should hand my scenes over to my characters more this week and be less conscious of what I am doing, while keeping my physical clarity and character intentions clear.

Strengths and Weaknesses

This week I feel that I was very strong in developing and rediscovering my characters intentions and thought processes in scenes and I thought a lot more about both of my characters journeys inside of the piece. I am finding it much easier to develop two different characters now than I was at the start of this piece and I feel this is due to the research and the work I have developed.

I feel that this week at points, myself and the company became very unfocussed due to the length of time we spent waiting during tech rehearsals, however, I do believe that this did improve when it came to performing onstage.

What I would like to achieve by next week

Next week is show week, so I would like to put my full energy into the final rehearsals and take on any last minute notes, so that I can help to produce a comedic and entertaining piece of theatre of audiences to watch.

[s3charlottefenning]

Daily Account for Friday 24th June 2016

Today we continued to tech more of the show. Like yesterday, I feel that I really benefited from this as I can now adapt my performance alongside the lighting and sound cues. I feel that this was a very beneficial rehearsal for the actors that were moving the set as I know that they have been having trouble with some of the transitions recently. I feel that they improved upon this throughout today’s rehearsal and this has helped many of the transitions to become quicker and less messy and chaotic.

Technical rehearsals are important for both the technical team and the actors and it allows us to combine ideas and see what works best. One problem that we ran into today was that the band had learnt a Viennese waltz, which is very fast, and we had been rehearsing a slow waltz. This resulted in a lot of confusion from many of the actors but through communicating our different ideas, the waltz was slowed down and this problem was overcome. I feel that it is very important to communicate problems like this in the tech rehearsal as it means they can be fixed before the dress run.

We did not finish teching the show today, however, we only have a couple of scenes left so I am confident that we can do this before the show opens. After the tech rehearsal, we focussed again on the Sadie Hawkins Day Race. We simplified and shortened this sequence a lot as it had become very repetitive. We also removed the set changes within this, so that the fast pace of the scene was not lost and so there was no dead stage. I hope that through doing this, people can focus more on their small sections and re-add some of the stylized movements and runs that we had worked on before. I am going to relook at these stylized, cartoon-like runs and try to incorporate them back into my piece.

[s3charlottefenning]

Daily Account for Thursday 23rd June 2016

Today we did a technical rehearsal for some of the piece. This meant that we worked with the sounds and lights and ensured that the transitions were smooth. Much like the sound plot, the tech took a long time and we only got to act one scene 8. It was a very long process, however, I feel that I really focused during this time and this means that I am now very aware of the different cues for lights and sounds, and I also know where my exits and entrances have been adapted due to the transitions with the trucks. It is very important for all actors to remember where these trucks are moving in the transitions as this ensures the safety of all of the actors and the set and also means that someone can step in to help move something if needed to.

After teching the show up to scene 8, we worked further on the Sadie Hawkins Day Race on the set. This allowed us to adapt what we were doing so that the whole section looked clean and impressive and so that al of the actors knew what they were doing. I enjoyed doing this as I feel that it really helped with the speed of the transitions within this. I hope that we can continue to clean this and improve the clarity of our movement, while remembering out character intentions so that this is a very comedic end to act one.

[s3charlottefenning]

Daily Account for Wednesday 22nd June 2016

Today we continued the sound plot for the piece. This is a long process and it takes a long time to get through each scene, however, it is a necessary part of the technical process. I think that I have definitely learned how patient I need to be when it comes to things like this. We did not completely finish the sound for the whole piece; however, we only have the last few scenes to work on so hopefully this will not take as long.

When it came to running Sadie Hawkins day, we ran into many problems with how we performed this on the set. I really enjoy this piece, however, I feel that we need to work on this more with the set to eliminate the problems that occur with timing and space and also the movement of the houses, so that there is no dead stage at any point and so that we can keep the feel of chaos in the race.  

After working on the sound plot, we look at the ballroom scene. We focussed on how we could adapt the beginning of the scene and the integration of the Dogpatchers so that this whole section could happen a lot faster and also so that the plot was much clearer for the audience. We kept the same basic idea so my character intentions stayed the same and I feel that I was comfortable enough in this scene to explore different reactions more. After looking at the comedic timing of the first section we then re-looked at the fight section, and made sure our movements were sharp and had clarity. By looking at the fight scene more, I thought more about how my character would be reluctant to fight as Bullmoose does not want a big disruption; therefore, I decided that I would be scared of the fight more than aggressively adding to it.  I feel much more confident in this scene, having worked on it more, and I hope to continue to develop more reactions inside of this.

The other secretaries and I then worked on some basic choreography that we can do in ‘Progress Is the Root of All Evil’. We wanted this to be very ‘showgirl-like’ as we felt that that is what the jazzy music implied. We took inspiration from musicals like ‘Chicago’ and thought about how we could take basic moves and add them into this song. I really enjoyed working on this and I feel that we did come up with good choreography. Since the choreography is quite basic, we can really focus on the clarity of our movements and how the movement affects our whole body. I also feel that it is easily adaptable if we wanted to change this when performing in the space. I hope that we can perform this later this week, in the space so that we can see what works and what does not.

Daily Account Tuesday 21st June 2016

We began today by looking at the final scene in 'Li'l Abner'. We had only briefly looked at the song 'Matrimonial Stomp', that is sung in this scene, before so it was good to finally get around to working on this. In this scene I am back to being a dogpatcher so I was able to play around with this much more, especially since I had been very focuses on my secretary character recently. I really enjoyed re-exploring this character in a scene as I felt that I got to experiment more with my free physicality and look at the pace and fluidity of my characters movement.  I feel that we made a lot of progress with this scene and we also looked at some basic choreography for the song. I feel that I picked this up very quickly and that I was able to add my character intentions into this quite quickly. I think that we will be able to create a really comedic scene if as a collective we all play the same objective, that we are all in on the joke against Earthquake and we can share this with the audience. I feel that the more sarcastic our reactions are, the funnier this will be. In the afternoon, the other secretaries and I had a chance to work further on 'What's Good For General Bullmoose'. Individually I am finding that I am much more comfortable with this song but as a group we are finding it difficult to completely keep in time with one another since this is sung acapella. It also seems to throw all of us off when one of us sings the wrong note. I feel that I can work on this by tuning more in to my own voice so that even if someone sings the wrong note, I can carry on with the song confidently. After this we began to look at the sound plot. This is when the sound and music cues are added into the piece. This was quite slow and we jumped from section to section so that the cues could be added to the correct part. I feel that I benefitted from this as I know know what sounds are happening and when they are happening so I will not be caught off guard when in a scene. We only did the sound plot for the beginning of the piece to scene 6 so we need to continue to do this for the rest of the show, this week.

Daily Account for Monday 20th June 2016

Today we looked at the whole show and how it looks technically, this included how the show looks onstage and the set changes/ transitions. We began by running the whole show so far. Act one did not feel as energised as I feel it should be and I felt that I was often thrown when adapting scenes to the space/set. It felt very slow and people did not always hit their cues, further reducing the energy of the piece. Act two felt very similar to act one as the energy was, again, very low.  We then ran this act again as an almost 'speed run' and this forced people to pick up their cues and add much more energy into what they were doing. This resulted in a much better feeling for act two, although I feel that some of these scenes have still run better in the past. After this we looked closer at the scenes and transitions at the end of act one and act two. Some of my movements were changed in these scenes and I felt that some of these changes really gave a comedic element to the scene and also helped to show my character and my character's role inside of the scene. However, many of the other changes, I found, did not fit my character of a secretary and I am unsure of how they add to the scene. In my opinion, some of the changes feel like they would work much better with Dogpatch characters as these characters have high energy and are completely different from the people in our world. While the Washington characters are still cartoon, I feel that some of the gags/comedic moments that have been added, make Dogpatch and Washington seem relatively similar although this is later contradicted by the ballroom scene where my character has become very serious, as I had developed her, while the Dogpatchers are very chaotic and wild in this new place.
