The lovely Bones Blog.

 Monday 28th

Today was our first day starting the lovely bones, Roles i got where Detective Feuerman and Mr Harvey which i am really happy about, Today Kelly sat us down and we decide to do a read through of the script because it was really important what Kelly vision was during these scene and just to take a step back and analysed the text. We also start to get ideas on how we where going to portray each scene.

Tuesday and Wednesday 29th & 30th. 

Over the next two days i had my final round at royal welish. It is a really big deal because its a really big school. I think my audition went well i did my strongest piece being Britain waves the rules and a Comedy of Errors and i really enjoyed doing the work shop as it was just fun and relaxed. I really like the school and i think i have got a really good chance of getting in.

 Thursday 1st

Today we started the day of with the final performance of DNA Cast 3 and they did a good job. It was a nice moment as it was the final leg of the tour. Then we got back to collage and i spent the Rest of the day getting caught up on all the scene that we have covered. I am all up to date now but it was just the first few scenes that have been comleted all the way up to the Mat Tent

Monday 5th

Today we started by carrying on with The Lovely bones rehearsal, We started on the next few scene in the morning about Decretive Feder man and abigal. The scene we covered was there first love scene where abigal and jack start to get feeling for each other. We spent alot of time working on this scene because it is very imporant to get it right. On the Afternoon we jumped to the start of act two because we only had them people there so as a class we started to look at them scenes. 

Tuesday 6th

Today we started the day by looking at the funeral scene in Act 1, this is a big Group scene and for my roles they are very big scenes because for Mr Havery he makes Linelsy faint which lead to Jack going after him, so for my charracter he is just playing cat and mouse and for Len he has a moment with Abigail to make sure she is okay. On the afternoon i started to work on the begging of the show with some of the cast that we have to see if it would work and try and help kellys idea.

Wednesday 7th

Today I started this morning off by working on the first kissing scene with Len and Abigail. My abigail is Lily day and at first it was funny but in the end it is a very powerful scene. On the after noon we started to move with the next few scenes and started to go over a few scene that we missed people or if people where not sure about and i made sure they where happy with it being my prodtion role.

Thursday 8th

Today we started to block the end of Act 1, i would say the most intense scene in the whole show when Linsey sneaks into Harvey house. How the scene run is you see Harvey leave his house as Linesy breaks in. She get nervous but Susie help her and she carry's on looking for evdance and she finds it but then Harvey comes home and as she ripping the paper out the book Harvey there with a hammer waiting for her.  She rips it and escape just in time. This scene is done so good and make everyone on the edge of there seats. On the afternoon we took the bus to boro to go support our Level 4 class mates by seeing there show Jane Air and it was really good.

Monday 12th

Today we started by working on the start of act 2 when Mr Harvey makes his escape from the police and when Len has his affaire with Abigail. For Harvey i made it seem like he has had a melt down because in Act 1 his house is perfect but in Act 2 it is a complete mess show he is starting to worry about his cover being blowen. On the afternoon we started the scene after when len tells the Salome's he stopping the investigation. a very powerful scene.

Tuesday 13th

Today we started the day off by looking at the one year later scene. The whole town in this scene comes together and remembers Susie's as it was one year since she was murder. I had help from erin and rose but we directed this great seen that made people cry which is really good. We added the song " Bridge over trouble water and it really creates such a powerful scene. we then covered it with the rest of the cast. 

Wenesday 14th

Today we started the morning off with a physical warm up lead by rose to get everyone focused. Then We started by looking at our next scene and it with everyone on stage and its show how life is just moving on. I play feredaman in this scene and the next scene in my final scene when i figure it out to be Harvey all long so the scene before hand i am starting to get all the evidence out the box. My final scene is a really good way to send of feredeman because its not the last time i am on stage but its the start of suise getting closer to her death. Carrying onto the next scene with Mr Harvey when we see him now as he has ran away and the girls are haunting him. The scene just shows how twist he is and how he is still scared of getting caught yet he has killed again. The scene we finsihed today on was the ruth scene which we are starting tomorrow. 

Thursday 15th

Today we started with Ruth and Susie scene when Suisse meets Ray through Ruth body. It is a very weird scene but we are doing a sort of movement to make it clear to the audience that they are switching places. Again it is a very powerful scene and made the cast cry again so that a very good sign. We then moved onto before lunch Jack heart attack scene and it took a little time to work it out but i think its the most powerful scene in the play. I had the idea of Susie walking away from jack as is she is letting go of him and it really worked with the scene. After lunch we got too the end of the play and i did my final scene as Harvey when he dies and it is really cool. To finish the day off we did a cast 3 run of Act 1 and will finish it off on Monday.

Monday 19th

Today we started with the rest of the Cast 3 run. It was really helpful and we could see where we need to pollish or look over again. After lunch we started a Cast 1 run of the whole show. It was good because i needed help with going over the first few scenes as Len as i did not cover it probably. For the rest of the day i spent it working on a few different scenes.

Tuesday 20th

Today we spent most of the day running Cast 2 lovely bones. It was very stop and start but we got to the end of it by the end of the day. Me and Rose got a list of things to do and what people wanted to cover so we could cover it tomorrow.

Wenesday 21st

Today was a very busy day, we started by sorting out the start of the show and how it was going to work. It did take a very long time however it is done. Then we moved onto the Singing part of the show and looking at the memorial scene again to see where it fits in. This took us to lunch but we got two of the biggest jobs of the list. After lunch we started to do some scene that poeple wanted to work on for the rest of the day and it was very helpful.
