While we have been waiting for our skripts to arrive we have been focusing on "Extreme skinny celebrities". This, i think, is the start to our very long journey of learning about eating disorders, as it is the main theme of 'Mirror, Mirror'.
It is helpful to see the effect the media has on eating disorders throughout society in order to portray this in our production.
I really don't have a specific character that i have my heart set on at the moment as they all have great potential however, i think it would be amazing to play the 'girl' or even the 'mother'. But charaters like the school girls and show girls interest me aswell. I think i would be happy if i get a few smaller characters so i can experience capturing each personality but i would also be happy with one main role.
So there's my vauge request Ms Mace, good luck casting:)

Week Six... Expression!
This week was extremely ispirational it really showed me the potential and talented people we have amongst our group!
I really feel that working with music helps me to come up with better ideas when experimenting with physical theatre. When our group put our ideas to music we were able to express ourselves much more elaborately and the piece tied together but in an alternate way to how we first imagined it.
This proves that in our group production we will really need to communicate with each other and also be confortable enough to work physically with one another and work towards doing this without the music ,so we can portray our ideas to the audience not just through dialouge but especially through physicality and expressionism.
I think the play Mirror, Mirror is going to be extemely deep and make a huge impact on the audience if we all stay focused and put as much energy into it as we have been with physical activities. The theme of anorexia has the potential to move a lot of audience members and give them a better understanding of how an anorexic mind works, as well as us.
I am so relieved that Ms Mace thinks this also and it was so moving to see her reactions to our presentations on Friday.
WE WILL BE FANTASTIC!!

Week Five....Direction
This week (which was really last week now.. woops) was quite interesting actually....
I have never really taken part in physical theatre before and it was really fun to experiment with! I found the activities we did during the last few lessons were helpful in displaying emotion in a creative way. It really forced me to move in a way that i was feeling not thinking. The partner work was a challenging yet beneficial task for me as it forced me to communicate with my partner without talking. This was difficult, however turned out to be relaxing and made me feel even more confortable with the group as we all felt as ridiculouse as one another.
I think more physical activites will be really helpful in preparing for our production and im soooo excited to actually get the script!
Hopefully it will be very soon! (hint hint Ms Mace)
K BIBI !
