In this lesson we did a read through of the first act. We did this as a whole class and because my opposite cast member was not there, it meant I read all of the lines for my character. This was helpful because it meant that I got a chance to see how it worked with the way I imagined the different characters voice. On the other hand, I did not get a chance to see how Luke did it which meant that I couldn't gain any ideas from him on certain bits that I thought worked really well.
The read through also gave me the opportunity to see how other cast members delivered their lines and how that affected the mood of the scene and how my characters would in turn respond to that. When reading through the script by myself, I found myself delivering the lines differently than people in the class which is why I think the read through was really useful.
After we finished the read through, I worked with Holly as Victoria on her scene. We were looking at things like movement and pace of the scene. We both felt that becuase of the lack of movement and any real oddity, it seemed like this scene starts before Lisa is in Dissocia, and it also seems very formal. Becuase it is before Lisa knows what is going on, there is an air of confusion about the way she talks, but she also seems to dismiss some odd things, such as Victor asking for a glass of urine. I think this shows that even in the real world, Lisa can sometimes not tell what is abnormal and what is normal
