Rehearsals

As we have made our own interpretations so far in our groups we had to put the whole thing together, in result we decided to read the whole piece section by section. 

After reading the whole piece a couple of times, we had to get used to stage directions and balancing the stage. We played a game to get to stage directions as quick as we could in order to strengthen our knowledge on where to go. As Medea had two main characters from our interpretations, which were Medea and the Chorus.

The whole class was split in two, one for each character and we had to come up with an abstract form to portray our sections; my group was Medea. For example, my group had picked out key terms from each section of our part. In addition we had also come up with the idea that the protagonist had to always balance the stage from the rest of our group which acted as a small chorus. As one person was speaking at a time, that was the protagonist of that section.

After both of our groups had taken the time to come up with ideas, both groups combined and we had edited parts that needed tweaking, for example transitions and positions on stage.
