1. What was the group discussion with Siou?

During our class, we looked at the different acting techniques we have gone over so far, like ensemble, Le Jeu, complicity, relationship with the audience, tableu, slow motion, building a character and vocal techniques. We also discussed what we as actors and as a group need further develop these techniques and our skills. Some of these things were focus, not giggling all the time, respect towards others, 

2. How does this affect your group work on your scenes?

Trough these acting techniques, we have been able to develop many of our scenes from and use them in different ways. For example, one of our main scene where we see our main character hit a servant, started of as a tableu and we decided to leave like that because it created tension fro the audience. I feel that using Le Jeu, the game/play, has helped us as a group to be more united and work together bouncing ideas more naturally. 

3. What progress did you make today?

The biggest thing we accomplished today, was working first separately in pairs on our scenes, me and Sophie on our fight between the parents and Jenny and Max on their lovers scene. Then we showed our progress to each other, giving each other feedback and making the two scene more fluent and clear. After that we were able to start running trough the whole play, making small changes to things that didn't work and just getting the pacing and entrances right. One thing we changed was when I, as a servant, run into Max when my character is late. Before we only had me coming late to work, but we thought that maing my character to actually bumb into Max gives Max's character more of a trigger to hit me.
