This lesson we blocked some more of our script and resolved casting issues. We found that Paul and John had too many lines to reasonably learn, and so I reshuffled the roles over the weekend to facilitate for costume and character changes.
A major barrier we faced was our lack of knowledge as to how to act in the Epic Theatre style. Some members of our group insisted it was just movement and lines, while others (myself included) believed it to be highly physical, but 2-dimensional.
We resolved this by looking up videos of Epic Theatre and watching them, and then Ms Carolan explained it to us in better detail. We blocked a little of the play, however we did not have much time after the acting/casting issues.
