Today we spent our time working on the first two Mechanical scene's. We wanted the audience to explore our characters from the moment they first walked on stage and we felt that we could add a short sequence before both scenes to fully accentuate each character. We felt that doing this will help highlight the characteristics of each individual. This would help our student audience with their understanding of the characters, thus allowing them to be able to write more about them.
This sequence featured Starveling carrying all of Bottom's things while he carries nothing and being obnoxious, Flute trying on costumes and leaving no-good ones on the floor like a diva, Quince running around after everyone trying to keep everything organised and Snug stood timidly centre stage in the midst of all the chaos.
Next lesson, we will work on costumes and how we will portray the characters throughout the entire play.
