Firstly today, we discussed what we think the set would look like, and we thought we would like to use the Shakespearean style and language but make it more current, and we are currently still coming up with different ideas where we can contrast the two styles together. We also discussed what order we would like to do our extracts in, which turned in to quite a debate; some of us thought we could intervene the two as it would make it more entertaining and more exiting to keep switching, but others argued it would make the audience more confused and switch off a bit as they wouldn't know what was going on and there would be too many characters, which I agree with. So we decided to do our extracts from The Tempest first, then have an interval, and then do Twelfth Night extracts, which I think is a lot more of a smooth order and would make us and most importantly the audience less confused.
We also created a rehearsal process/schedule, to help us step by step allow us to learn about our characters scenes, and give us plenty more time to work out more ideas. We begin the schedule with character building workshops, off texts improvisations, working our way towards hot seating, relationships with other characters, and themes etc.
