Drama Rehearsal

Today we had our last Drama class before the actual performance, this time Mr. Bywater came to see us and had commented in our play, apparently Mr. Evans seems very happy with both groups and looks like we've made an improvement.

Drama class

Today in drama class we had a life lesson from the teacher. The teacher thought us that it is not right to think about doing something and don't do it. It is very lazy and disrespectful to the teacher. We were told to do our job, but we did not manage to do it, as a compensation we should finish the script and the powerpoint so that the teacher is not disappointed and we can do our work properly. Our group is a failure because there is no teamwork between us, and I'm not being a responsible student because of the many times I did not do something because nobody did either.

Drama Practice

Today we had another drama practice with the lights and the music, this time it was the MYP Co- ordinator who was looking at our play, he recorded it so that Mr. Evans could see it. During this rehearsal, I couldn't stop laughing because Pedro forgot Lydia's character name, this is why it is important to remember the script and to follow it correctly.

Technical Run

Today in Drama class we learnt to run a Technical Run. The Technical Run consists in the testing of Lighting, entering the stage, exiting the stage, music, etc. This is fundamental for drama practices because, we need to make sure that everything is fine and ready for the day in which we will present the play.

To do the Technical Run for the Lighting effects, we need to keep track of which lights we turn on and off, and when do we turn them on and off. Another thing that we also do, is to fix the light intensity and colour of it. Lighting is very important to be able to give the audience a more accurate vision of the play scenario.

Picture above shows how how to record the lighting that is needed during the scenes, the number of the light and when it should be turned on.

Pictures above and below show how does the lighting effects affect the feeling that the audience has towards the play.
