Practice 1
Today was focused on practicing our performances for the Jabberwocky. But before we started off our first practice we started with some warm-up games. We started off with Zip, Zap, Boing. And once again I lost again, and was not the winning champ. It was basically to get us more alert and ready. The second game we played was to develop movement for some of the things in our performance. So for example for a word like mimsy, we supposed to create happy whimsical movement. We stood in two lines parallel to each other, and we were put into partners. We then were supposed to pick out a word from the poem that we would portray. I chose mimsy. So when we started I started flailing my arms, but in a more graceful manner, kind of like doing the wave to create that whimsical movement.
For our first practice we were supposed to create a small preview or trailer to show Mr.Mouck. Our group got to discussing how we were going to act out all of our parts. I was the narrator, so I sat and observed for some time how everyone else was going to work there parts. For the trailer we were going to have Mohamed be sitting down telling his son, Lorenzo about the dangers or love and how we should stay away from it. We were then going to have Margaux and Sarah, the distractions walk across and catch lorenzo's eye for a second. The vorpal sword, Omar was then going to be put into action and stop lorenzo from being distracted. We were then going to end the trailer with me doing a heartbeat like sound while turned around, to add some suspense and mystery. One of the ideas I had for margaux and sarah as they were walking by, would be for lorenzo to whistle and say "damn." But I remembered that we couldn't add lib, and we had to follow the poem to the exact tee. Alas, we didn't get to perform our trailers, because we kept on going back and forth on some ideas and we ran out of time, but we managed to get a good sense of what we wanted to do.
