week review

This week we rehearsed Alice in wonderland and decided to change the plot. We changed it so it's a drug rehabilitation hospital. And Alice is the new patient. The asylum in called "wonderland". And whilst she is being drawn of the drug shes imagining the hospital s a magical world. But as she begin to get cured and begins to get better, this place in her head starts to make no sense to her until at the end she is fully recovered and has to leave wonderland the asylum and wonderland the place in her head.

Throughout the play we will project steps that patients take on the road to recovery. For example step one could be extreme hallucinations then we would show Alice have hallucinations. In lesson we also planned the set. We decided to strip the walls of the posters and cover the walls and ceiling in a thin plastic material. We also decided to cage the audience in so the felt like they were in the asylum and paint all props white. All the characters will wear white too and Alice will wear a white night gown.

We also decided that Alice won't look classically pretty as she does in the films instead she will look like she is sick, to do this I will darken the circles under my eyes, define my cheek bones so I look sickly thin and make my lips and skin pale.

I'm feeling anxious about performing next Tuesday as we haven't done a full run through yet. But we are practising after school Tuesday until the performance at 6:00.
