For our first lesson we had a drama lesson with Rob where we had to do our dress rehearsal. For our starter we were told to go into a circle and stand in drama neutral so we can do a warm up together. We first did a vocal warm up to get our voices ready and to help with our articulation during the play. This helped us as it gave us a lot of energy and everyone was wide awake and ready to do our dress rehearsal. We then went straight into the rehearsal starting from the first scene all the way to the end scene this is helpful because we could finish off our finishing touches to the play and know our cues when to come in and not to come in.

For our second lesson we had another drama lesson with Sharon. We had to go in a circle again in drama neutral and do the same warm ups in her lesson to get us ready for her lesson as well. We then went straight into rehearsal and started rehearsing the play with Sharon. Sharon told us that she wanted to go through the whole play without stopping to see if everything was on point. Some people kept on stopping because they wasn't so sure about their lines and their cues but in the end they got the hang of it and new their lines from back to front. This is helpful in rehearsals because we could see how much people needed help during rehearsal.

For our first lesson we started on papa tango. Which is that we have to go into groups and write up a short character biography for three given actors to act out. First we started with thinking of three characters for our script. My group started to think about what we could do so we all told each other our ideas. Then we all decided to do my idea which was that we could incorporate Lennie from 'of mice and men' and noel Clarke from 'top boy'. My idea was that Lennie is in the forest by a pond playing with the water due to him losing George. Then Alicia which is noel Clarke's little sister goes pass singing. Thus then makes Lennie happy and makes him follow her. But little does he know she is leading him to a bando.

For our first lesson we had a tutorial lesson with Sharon where we were told to write up all our work in our blogs to keep them updated.

For our second lesson we had a drama lesson with Rob where we carried on with papa tango. Our group was ahead so we started to do the plot of the story. we made up  a lot of good story's but we wasn't sure which one to use. We then chose to do my story with Lennie following noels sister to noels bando and spy on her and at the end he gets killed. Then we added in georgina`s part of the story where she was mental and she was in a home because off her state. We then got told to write up everything we have for our scripts so we can show the actors what we came up with. So we chose people in our groups to write it up and then show us when we all come back.
