We had a chance to see the venue where we are going to perform. The theatre has a massive stage and 340 seat capacity. Wow!
We had a brilliant and really helpful afternoon with the SSF team. Everyone worked amazingly hard. We were joined by another South London primary school performing Macbeth in the same theatre as part of the SSF. It was really great to participate with another school and see how they are tackling such a different play.
The afternoon for the cast consisted of some warm up exercises, some really valuable drama exercises intended to improve performance and finally a chance for us to show off some of the rehearsal work we have been doing. Although we have only had one proper rehearsal, our cast performed the opening scenes and were brilliant - they had even learned all their lines. We can't wait for the real thing!
The production team were equally busy. The team joined the director and producer for a meeting with the SSF coordinator. We discussed our amazing plans for marketing and costume before being joined by two lighting engineers to talk through our initial lighting ideas. We got some great advice!
We can't wait for our next rehearsal on Friday. And in the meantime, please support the children and buy lots of tickets!
