This afternoon, Leticia, Matt and the cast worked on the physicality and movement in some of the scenes.
1. Scene between Ishtar and Samira - Soldiers’ presence – behind boxes? Distraction to have them walking around the space as it pulls focus from the emotional scene between the two as Ishtar tries to soothe Samira
2. Box formation – Naomi having to ‘fall’ along the boxes
3. Highly emotional scene - Samira and Jade movement sequence, petrol can, Jade's monologue, Samira speaking in Arabic...
The cast rehearsed the final scene. Candy as Lara pushes the boxes aside so they are spread out amongst the space. The other characters then wander, building the cave.
What Leticia noted about this scene, is that the intentions of the characters are essential to making the dialogue sound genuine. There had to be cuts to the script in order to stay true to the characters and the pace of the play. The actors changed the light, slightly contrived conversation to more matter-of-fact, straightforward dialogue, which seemed to work better.
