introductory workshop with Karen

 When Karen came in she taught us everything about Coriolanus so for example stage fighting all different types of tableau were she would give us a topic for example Violence and we would have to do a still image of it we also did some play work so for example worked on the start of our scene for Coriolanus were we all throw stones and scream and shout and we run up in lines. We also worked on text speak and sir filmed us doing some text speak. At the start just to get us warmed up we played a game where we had to go in a circle and she would point at us and we would have to shout bob before she finished here sentence if not we had to sit down.

We then did some flocking and then right at the end we had to do some text speak but we also had to do a lift when Coriolanus had been killed I was in the lift so I don’t know how it looked until I looked at the photo on blogger but I truly enjoyed the whole day that we spent with Karen.

all this week we have learnt the same thing...

Monday- i have learnt how to say some words from Shakespeare and have had a look at some different speeches that he has wrote and learnt his way of speaking.

Wednesday- We looked at more speeches and what i learnt from this was that they speak very different to what we do know they miss some letters out and say words like hath and so many more so what i have learnt from this is Shakespeare's language.

Friday- Sir gave the boys Hamlet and the girls Othilia and we had to come up with ideas to make a performance so what I learnt from this was that we all had to work as a group and also learnt a lot about all of Shakespeare's play's
