Wednesday 7th of October

An energetic warm-up stated off this week’s rehearsal, with fun and lively drama games such as ‘crazy chicken’ and ‘Irish jig’ helped to prepare the cast of Macbeth for their session. After they’d fully warmed up their bodies, they played a vocal game designed to engage themselves with their tone of voice to get completely in role.

The group then worked on their last scene from the previous session, taking into account all of the techniques they’d learnt from their workshop. A tricky stage swipe was incorporated, helping the actors to position themselves correctly for the next scene. Acting out a small series of lines and using clear mimes and freeze frames, the ensemble managed to create a clever scene of servants at Macbeth’s dinner with Duncan, setting the atmosphere perfectly.
