In todays lesson we started reading through the script of our Final Major Project for this year. Its called 'Arabian Nights, One Thousand and One Nights' its based on a King who was betrayed by his wicked, cruel and heartless Queen. The Queen was hung. After her death, he grew hate on all women, thinking they're all the same so every night he would re-marry a woman and by dawn they would be killed as he did not want to grow fond of them. Until one day when women were fleeing from the area that the main character Shahrazad decided she would marry the King and by her amazing 'Story-Telling' she will change the Kings perspective on women and keep Shahrazad alive. Every night after they marry, she would tell a different story and eventually the King and Queen fall in love, and she falls pregnant with his baby.
We read half-way through the script, and at first I was quite confused about the FMP thinking it will be too difficult to act out as an ensemble, however once reading half the script I found that their is actually a lot of comedy and serious sides to the play. Also thinking through the stories, I thought it fitted well with our group as an ensemble, because of it's seriousness, and the comedy throughout. Also having a rough idea of the staging of how we are going to perform it really did make me feel a lot more confident about it.
I'm looking forward to the castings of the stories, and am excited to start blocking this out.

The entries that you have published are really comprehensive, thorough and interesting. You are missing a great deal roughly 80% of the sessions that we rehearsed. You absoloutly have to publish these posts otherwise your grade will be affected.
ReplyDeleteI suggest you publish these posts or produce very thorough and detailed entries covering each story talking about the rehearsal process for each, your roles and characters however minor in each story, what you feel you did well as an individual and what you feel your weaknesses were, also what you did during the rehearsal process to develop your weaknesses. You should also elaborate on the groups strengths as an ensemble and what you felt the group struggled with on each story. The more specific examples you can give the better.
You will also need to include a research entry...be imaginative with this a possible, upload pictures and include links to videos or music that inspired your character, but you must justify why and how they helped you create your character. What elemenst were your characters? What Levels of Tension and What Laban Efforts did you draw upon?
