So far , my group has done most of our props , some line rehearsel , and gone to find our costume . We did the backdrops , only 2 types so far . The sword for Tybalt , and basically , thats all . We have rehearsed our line so many times , especially the Romeo and Juliet scene , as we believe its important . We have only found Juliet , Nurse and the party guest's costumes .
The current situation , is that we are doing more props , but due to all our busy and tight schedule , we have decided to split up and do different things . Like if one day , only 5 people can make it to the meeting , thery will do what they can . The rest would meet up another day to do other stuffs . We are not focusing so much on our lines , other than the kissing scene , as it still needs improvement . We have asked the costume IC to find suitable costumes for the rest of the characters . Some of us would tag along to discuss and make the appropriate choice too . We would try and ask the one whose playing the piano , to rehearse at the house or even , the back of the hall , or music room , where there is a piano .
The acting has to have more emotions , especially the crucial parts like when Tybalt is arguing with Capulet and when Romeo meets Juliet . Basically , its everything that is important . During the dry run , we did not add in the dance part as we have not figured out the dance steps . We took a long time in trying to figure out the dance steps as we did not want to do a dance , similar to other groups . And therefore , now , we have figured out a simpler dance step that not only doesn't copy other groups , but its short and sweet too . However , we can definitely improve on our dance as well . Like , not to be shy with each other . We must open up a little for the 70% for End of year examinations . We need to work out more on our spacing , and intonation when we speak . We must also really understand the role that we are handling . This is because , when we understand our roles , we can speak and really be in their shoes . We would start talking and acting like them . The spacing as , we must make full use of the whole space given and ensure that eventhough there are characters at the back , it doesn't distract and make the audiences lose focus on the main characters .
