Febuary overall, midsummers night dream.

febuary overall has been very intense for everyone and myself.
coming off of script this month has made things a lot more challenging as ive only just started learning my lines however its made me 'up my game' and learning on spot with someone prompting is benefiting me and making me pick up my lines a lot quicker. we have two groups red and blue group both doing midsummers night dream but devising it differently with their own creative twists as you know i am in blue group but now have to do red groups puck also as lucia has decided she doesnt want to continue in the drama course, this has put a lot of stress and pressure on me as i have to devide my time to both groups equally adapting to their ways of doing the play but still keeping my character fresh, however even though its more pressure and time i have to spend im very excited about being apart of both plays as it gives me the oppurtunity to play puck differently each time showing his different personalities and also seeing how both groups handle problems.

with started our context essay gathering reasearch on shakespeare, his time era the theatre and its political and social factors then leading on to midsummers night dream and about rehearsals.
i've started researching into shakespeare and found out abit more about him and his time era and some inordinary things that took place in that time such as woman not being respected as highstatus but queen elizabeth the 1st was running the country. men/boys would play women in theatre performances. and shakespeare was known to have children..

also during this month we've worked with sharon on our story telling ive chosen to do little red riding hood and base it on the original groosem twins tales. the original is harsher to children ears with the grandma actually being eaten alive and little red riding hood slicing open the wolves belly and filling it with rocks, the wolve awakens later and drops down dead.

in my twist the story has a comical twist set in modern times with a 'gangster ghetto' theme but still keeping the the groosem twins original story ending.

heres my story planning and a draft of my story.
