My scene has actually been really successful, so far we have gotten our first draft done and that's only because I was absent with an eye appointment but it was only a minor setback and gave me more time to study my character. We are attempting to foreshadow love, death and fate and how they all intertwine and how Friar Lawrence tries to control all of those elements and try to reverse fate into his favor and led to the downfall of himself and Romeo and Juliet. I believe so far we have succeeded in putting our analysis across and acting it out in a way that the audience could understand, we could have worked on stage movements a little bit more and maybe our tone of voice when we talk on some of our lines. We have progressed because we have shortened our play a lot and we have definitely improved in the all-around acting out of it. Our characters definitely look a bit more the part when we add costumes, we don't really need any props or music to convey our point which kind of makes our scene interesting. As a performer this taught me how to fit into a new role, in my first scene I played the more vulnerable, broken down Romeo and now I'm playing Friar Lawrence who is a built up, on top of everything type of character which is a pretty big change and I feel like I have converted very well and that gives me confidence that in the future I will be able to fit into various other parts.
