We first started off by piecing together the protest scene, this naturally came quite strong and powerful and is an energetic way to open up the play. I felt knackered by the end of it as to become a protestor and fully embody the essence of passion and drive you need to use all the energy you have and keep pushing yourself which can be emotionally and physically draining.
My individual scene with Josh didn't go as well, due to the lack of lines learnt, our relationship wasn't clear, no character or objective work and we weren't projecting to one another, it was a shambles but made me realise I have to work really hard for the next rehearsal to make it better. But it was our first rehearsal so... I have realised I need to listen more to Josh's character and find the rhythm of the text to make this scene work.
