Today we started on Act 2 which I am in. This is set in the cell where they have been keeping Michal while questioning Kat. Again we decided to keep the set simple, with just a a big block to represent a mattress in the cell for them to sit on. It is quite a relaxed and funny scene until Michal admits to killing the children, at which point there needs to be a complete change in atmosphere which we have been trying to work on. Our tone and body language need to change as well as Kat moving away in disbelief. As the scene develops it becomes more spiteful and shows a new side to their relationship, with Kat no longer treating Michal like the innocent simple minded boy he thought he was.
We do not have much movement in this scene which I think we need to work on as it will get boring if we are stuck on the bed the whole time, but I think this will be easier once we have learnt our lines so we are not constantly looking at our scripts and we can properly get into character.
