This week was our first rehearsal using scripts, after our read through last Monday. We played around with a scene set in airports in Britain and Italy, which included a lot of movement going from character to character depending on the country. It's all very exciting at the moment; we're all raring to go but at the same time a bit uncertain about our characters. Since many of us are multi-rolling and playing characters with a background so different to our own we spent some time making character profiles for each part we play, looking at their objectives, hopes and dreams and personal history, to put us more in touch with own characters and the team as a whole.
On a different note, we have had positive news from venues in Edinburgh saying they may consider our application. It's a bit early right now to secure a spot but fingers crossed we'll get our top choice! Plans about transport for example are also being finalised, so the project is really moving forward and becoming a reality. We have also been planning more fundraisers to add to our budget; we're trying to get as much as possible because then any left over money can be used to contribute to theatre tickets whilst at the Edinburgh Fringe.
