Some great work so far, but update your blogs!

I've been looking today at blogs for Ten Tiny Fingers.  Some of you have lots of some great comments and research and your blogs are coming along nicely.  There's still a couple of people who don't seem to have posted anything for a few weeks!

Don't forget, you should be blogging after every rehearsal, lesson or study period with your thoughts, comments and notes.  At home, you should be not only  learning lines, but trying also activities which help you develop skills and understanding - for example:

Research on issues in the play
Research on the playwright or similar plays/films
Notes on actors or real life figures who inspire you or remind you of your character
Notes and thoughts on rehearsal activities such as improvisation, physical theatre work, writing monologues etc
Videos of you in rehearsals / lessons (these are posted on here!)

To gain distinctions in the grading criteria for Unit 13 (Contemporary Theatre Plays) your blog should be detailed and interesting to read!! If you're stuck for inspiration, take a look Millie's blog for the site specific piece
