This
week
has
been
jam
packed
and
I
have
made
many
new
discoveries
that
have
been
turning
points
for
me,
not
just
on
these
processes
but
also
as
an
actor
in
the
long
run.

We
had
rehearsals
for
our
extra
project
on
Monday!
We
worked
on
scenes
from
the
play
'
A
Brief
History
of
Helen
of
Troy.'
They
were
such
interesting
and
intruding
scenes.
I
found
it
quite
challenging
because
we
didn't
know
much
about
the
context
and
had
to
work
out
a
lot
about
the
characters
just
from
the
scene
including
their
class,
relationships
and
background.
However,
I
liked
this
challenge,
and
it
was
really
good
practice
as
well
reading
text
for
the
first
time
and
trying
to
bring
it
to
life.
I
played
the
part
of
Charlotte
and
Julia
played
Heather.
However,
I
think
that
perhaps
Heather
is
an
insecure
character
as
well
and
just
has
a
tough
exterior.
Im
not
sure,
but
now
I
am
so
curious
to
read
the
play
and
find
out
more!
It
was
a
really
strange
scene
and
I
got
from
it
that
Charlotte
is
insecure
and
is
always
wanting
to
be
reassured
and
Heather
is
trying
to
make
her
feel
pretty.
The
way
it
was
written
though
was
quite
strange
and
I
think
that
with
more
discovery
you
would
find
more
of
the
depth
inside
the
characters
and
what
contradictions
they
are!
It
was
interesting
to
watch
Sam
and
Harriet's
scene;
here
I
saw
the
part
of
Charlotte
played
in
a
different
and
controversial
way.
Also,
the
monologue
Alex
did
was
hard
hitting
and
such
a
contrast
from
the
way
I
initially
perceived
the
character
of
Charlotte.
We
then
performed
and
watched
the
character
monologues
we
created
as
the
child
of
a
Disney/fairytale
character.
I
loved
everyone's
character
monologues;
they
were
so
endearing
and
engaging
to
watch
and
had
me
laughing
lots
too!
My
monologue
was
the
daughter
of
Mary
Poppins.
Reflecting
on
my
performance
I
think
to
improve
I
could
have
been
more
confident
with
my
flow
and
made
it
more
polished.
However,
I
feel
I
succeeded
in
getting
the
idea
out
there
and
just
playing.
Harriet
played
the
daughter
of
Sebastian
the
crab,
Sabrina!
I
loved
the
physicality
Harriet
brought
to
this
and
how
she
brought
an
accent
to
it
as
well!
It
was
really
funny
and
cartoon
like
to
watch!
Alex
did
Father
Christmass
daughter
and
I
loved
how
endearing
and
playful
she
was!
Julia's
was
really
memorable
as
she
did
a
rap
as
the
daughter
of
Rapunzel.
It
was
really
witty
and
the
lyrics
were
clever.
I
loved
the
risk
she
took
with
this
and
it
challenged
me
to
think
about
doing
something
different
and
taking
risks
with
the
tasks
we
are
given.
Sams
was
interesting
because
he
wasn't
physically
on
stage!
Because
he
was
Humpty
Dumptys
son,
Numpty
Dumpty,
he
put
an
egg
on
stage!
It
was
really
different
and
meant
all
the
monologues
were
so
diverse,
generating
lots
of
material
for
the
schools
tour!
2
It
was
certainly
a
challenge
to
then
put
all
these
characters
together
in
a
scene
but
I
am
really
excited
to
develop
this
and
see
how
these
characters
interact
with
one
another
further
and
the
relationships
they
may
form.
Our
scene
had
to
cover
Money
and
our
song
and
dance,
Drugs
Awareness.
It
was
good
we
split
and
did
the
song
and
dance
separately
as
it
meant
we
could
get
more
done
and
work
with
one
another's
strengths.
For
example,
Sam
and
Julia
went
off
and
wrote
lyrics
whilst
Alex,
Harriet
and
I
choreographed
the
dance
section.
I
think
the
scene
could
have
been
a
lot
more
chaotic
though
as
then
it
would
have
made
Numpty
Dumptys
moment
all
the
more
dramatic.
It
would
be
good
to
perfect
the
song
and
dance,
but
as
an
initial
idea
I
think
there
is
some
good
material.
Especially,
like
Carleigh
was
saying,
using
a
well
known
song
but
changing
the
lyrics
because
even
though
the
words
will
be
different
the
audience
will
recognise
it
and
be
with
you!
We
used
Hairsprays
'You
can't
stop
the
beat'
but
changed
the
lyrics
to
-
I
am
really
excited
about
how
we
can
use
all
of
this
and
start
to
put
it
into
more
solid
ideas
for
our
schools
project!
Working
on
the
newspaper
project
has
been
a
big
part
of
the
week.
In
our
first
rehearsal,
we
focused
on
getting
to
grips
with
the
first
section
and
the
energy
that
is
needed.
We
also
tried
to
think
about
casting
the
first
scene.
I
found
it
really
difficult
as
when
we
asked
the
actors
who
wanted
to
read
for
the
characters
there
was
a
lack
of
enthusiasm.
It
was
like
actors
had
already
decided
who
they
wanted
to
be
and
were
not
open
to
other
characters.
I
was
torn
between
two
actors
for
the
designer
so
we
started
to
think
about
the
idea
of
having
a
double
act.
However,
you
can't
just
have
a
double
act
for
the
sake
of
it,
there
has
to
be
something
behind
it
and
characters
that
work
well
together.
Therefore,
this
was
a
really
hard
decision
and
I
had
to
think
a
lot
about
the
chemistry
behind
this.
I
thought
what
could
be
quite
effective
is
Sid
as
a
bossy
fashion
designer
and
James
as
the
nerdy
designers
assistant
who
is
desperate
to
please
and
always
wanting
to
know
more.
We
also
had
a
chat
with
Carleigh
and
I
started
to
doubt
our
concept
and
had
some
light
bulb
moments
about
what
we
have
done!
I
realised
the
mannequin
idea
was
restricting
us
and
if
you
are
going
for
that
concept
it
has
to
be
strong
and
committed
throughout.
We
changed
it
to
models
and
this
immediately
opened
up
more
doors.
I
also
had
the
idea
of
creating
a
scene
where
you
have
Jack
opening
a
newspaper
or
pressing
play
on
a
video
and
then
we
physically
see
what
is
on
the
page
or
on
the
screen
being
played
out
to
us.
It's
like
he
is
just
being
bombarded
with
all
of
these
things
he
sees
in
the
media.

At
the
end
of
the
day,
I
met
with
some
actors
from
my
newspaper
group
and
we
developed
some
choreography.
It
was
great
to
see
them
really
taking
possession
and
getting
excited
about
the
work!
I
have
a
new
vision
and
hope
next
week
we
can
turn
the
piece
around!
I
am
glad
I
have
made
some
mistakes
as
it
has
taught
me
a
lot
and
I
know
for
certain
what
I
would
do
differently
next
time.
We
dont
know
where
we
are
No
set
up
Too
many
modes
are
commented
on
get
tedious
after
a
while
Its
quite
stop
and
start
We
are
being
too
nice
trying
to
give
everyone
a
moment
The
Judges
are
a
weak
point
The
stereotypical
camp
guy
doesnt
work
It
should
be
more
about
the
isolation
Jack
feels
The
Online
person
part
is
interesting
Liked
Jacks
performance
The
dynamic
shift
at
the
end
works
Sometimes
there
is
too
much
going
on
you
cant
hear
the
story
or
the
messages
we
are
trying
to
portray
The
whole
company
could
potentially
be
involved
in
the
final
image
Varying
commitment
from
the
actors
Character
diversity
needs
to
be
clearer
it
sometimes
seems
like
they
are
the
same
characters
throughout
the
whole
thing.

After
receiving
our
feedback
and
pondering
on
the
piece
we
have
created
I
have
new
ideas
and
concepts
I
want
to
put
on
the
floor.
We
have
time
on
Monday
before
meeting
with
Carleigh
and
Gav
and
I
would
like
these
proposals
to
be
tested
so
that
we
have
more
potential
to
move
the
piece
on
in
a
positive
and
effective
way.
In
the
first
section,
we
need
to
see
Jack
and
understand
the
context
of
where
we
are.
I
think
a
voice
over/recording
of
his
inner
thoughts
could
be
effective
or
even
some
statistics
and
facts
about
eating
disorders.
I
like
the
idea
of
him
perhaps
looking
in
a
mirror
and
the
company
creating
his
refection.
I
then
think
we
could
show
how
this
is
a
dream
he
is
having
and
then
cut
to
models
backstage
about
to
go
down
a
cat
walk.
We
see
all
thee
models
backstage
and
I
was
thinking
about
perhaps
creating
a
stylized
section
based
on
the
outrageous
beauty
facts
I
have
researched.
For
example,
cling
film
to
make
you
slimmer,
apple
diet
to
loose
weight,
eyeliner
tattoo,
plucking
every
hair
off
arm.
A
catwalk
-
Models
walking
down,
presenter
doing
a
running
commentary,
Photographers
and
crowds
applauding
-
When
Jack
comes
down
there
is
silence
the
music
stops
Media
section
-
Clear
jack
is
opening
newspaper
etc.
-
Then
a
tabloid
headline
each
time
-
When
he
is
looking
at
it
we
have
actors
creating
the
advert.
In
the
Girly
section
we
need
a
clearer
split
stage
with
Jack
communicating
When
Jack
and
Jess
meet
up,
the
actors
in
the
background
need
to
be
more
alive
The
end
section
is
ok
but
the
transition
into
the
heartbeat
looks
odd
need
a
new
physical
formation.
10
On
Friday
morning,
we
were
involved
in
the
firs
years
company
warm
up.
It
was
intensely
physical
and
a
good
way
to
really
get
enrgised
for
the
day,
It
was
frustrating
at
times
though
because
actors
were
talking
and
not
listening
to
the
person
leading.
When
you
are
joining
in
yourself
you
dont
know
weather
its
your
place
to
say
anything.
However,
Alex
and
Lewis
both
spoke
to
the
company
about
respecting
the
person
in
charge.
It
can
be
really
difficult
but
I
think
its
something
the
company
will
learn
and
develop
throughout
their
training.
We
had
a
big
mission
on
Friday!
We
were
split
into
two
groups
and
were
each
assigned
a
Community/Outreach
Theatre
company.
I
was
a
part
of
The
Attic
Theatre
Company.
The
other
group
was
Sydney
Theatre
Company.
We
had
to
research
the
companies
answering
all
the
questions
and
then
turn
it
into
a
talk
show,
which
we
got
questioned
on.
We
had
the
following
to
answer
and
the
research
part
of
it
was
vital
in
making
the
whole
thing
work.
What
is
outreach
drama?
Making
theatre
accessible
to
people
by
reaching
out
and
targeting
vulnerable
groups
of
people
that
need
a
base
for
self-expression,
so
that
it
allows
them
to
see
theatre
in
a
way
that
helps
them
as
individuals.
What
is
community
theatre?
Reaching
out
to
certain
companies
and
specific
people
to
suits
their
needs
and
aid
them
self
to
the
work
and
let
them
create
as
well
as
produce
work
in
a
creative
way
that
improves
them
as
individuals
Pose
the
debate
are
there
links
between
the
two?
The
work
they
have
done
and
where
they
have
done
it?
Produced
over
48
productions
world
wide
including
world
premieres,
revivals
and

13
We
called
the
talk
show
Give
me
your
hand
Brother.
Each
Theatre
Company
also
had
a
signature
entrance
and
introduced
themselves.
We
also
had
ad
breaks
and
voice-overs!
It
was
so
much
fun
to
develop
as
once
we
had
gathered
all
the
information
we
were
so
free
to
be
creative
and
make
it
our
own!
I
loved
that
this
was
a
research
task
but
we
were
given
the
freedom
to
be
practical
on
the
floor
with
it.
I
feel
I
actually
learnt
more
about
these
Theatre
companies
than
I
would
if
I
had
just
researched
them
on
my
own.
We
ended
the
talk
show
in
conflict
and
everyone
having
a
big
fight!
A
lot
of
it
was
also
improvised
because
we
didnt
get
the
chance
to
run
through
it
all
absolutely
properly
and
I
felt
this
actually
made
it
more
spontaneous
and
in
the
moment.
However,
it
did
mean
it
was
a
challenge
as
actors
to
react
in
character
to
what
was
going
on,
as
at
times
it
was
just
absolutely
mayhem
and
hysteria!
Funnily
enough
though
it
felt
like
a
good
mayhem!!
If
we
were
to
do
it
again
I
would
want
to
focus
making
sure
we
got
more
of
the
research
facts
portrayed
effectively
because
I
think
at
times
this
was
lost
due
to
the
chatty,
competitive
feel
of
the
show.
I
would
want
to
make
sure
that
each
Theatre
Company
really
tells
the
audience
what
they
are
about
and
pay
attention
to
detail
with
different
shows
they
have
done
and
specific
community/outreach
events
that
they
work
on.

Plan of Action!
This
week
my
individual
strengths
have
been
creativity
and
having
fun.
I
have
loved
all
the
challenges
we
have
been
given
and
I
believe
I
have
been
playful
and
spontaneous
with
the
characters
I
have
tried.
As
well
as
with
the
concepts
we
have
explored
and
discovered
in
creative
ways.
My
weaknesses
have
been
not
trusting
myself,
especially
inside
the
newspaper
project.
I
feel
I
have
been
too
worried
about
the
final
outcome
that
this
stunted
my
creativity
and
meant
I
wasnt
making
decisions
effectively.
I
know
now
what
I
need
to
do
to
develop
the
piece
and
want
to
move
forwards
with
a
new
vision
and
plan
in
mind
to
make
it
the
piece
I
know
it
has
the
potential
to
be.
I
won't
let
myself
be
overwhelmed
by
it
and
will
trust
that
I
have
a
vision
and
it
is
possible
to
make
something
work
when
you
really
out
your
mind
to
it!
A
company
strength
has
also
been
the
playful
energy
in
the
space
and
the
amount
of
fun
we
have
had
devising
and
exploring
new
things.
A
company
weakness
is
that
not
everyone
was
on
the
floor
all
week,
which
meant
there
was
a
divide
and
we
could
not
see
everyones
character
monologue.
Also,
there
is
sometimes
a
lot
of
talking
and
disagreement
when
we
are
under
pressure.
We
need
to
develop
the
skill
of
working
more
economically
when
we
have
a
deadline.
In
regard
to
monologues,
I
will
continue
to
explore
different
monologue
opinions
as
well
as
looking
for
a
chancery
song
for
next
week
and
start
to
really
find
my
own
style
inside
the
monologues
so
that
I
can
make
them
my
own
by
exploring
and
being
creative.
For
the
Schools
Tour,
I
want
to
continue
having
fun
exploring
characters
and
now
want
to
be
more
versatile
in
the
characters
I
am
exploring
by
taking
a
risk
and
do
something
I
have
never
tried
before!
I
am
excited
about
the
week
ahead
and
the
opportunity
there
is
to
build
on
what
we
have
touched
upon
this
week.
I
am
positive
about
the
projects
we
are
working
on
and
the
progression
we
are
making
as
a
company.
