Set Design for a Doll's house

We have now started to think about our set design for our piece. On Wednesday, we were supposed to work on our acting but not in a kind of GCSE way, that we would just do it over and over again. We we're supposed to insert one of Stanislavski's method in it, emotion memory for example. But we didn't do that.

On the first hour, we talked about how we were supposed to write our Stanislavski essay which I thought was really useful. Personally I just wanted to get on with my acting and pretend that I knew what I have to do but then I decided myself that the writing was also a part of the Theater IB course and that I had to listen. I'm glad I did, there were lots of useful information I took in.
On the second hour, we discussed about the set. We were told that having the set on stage and rehearsing with it would affect our acting which I completely agree with. That's why we need all of the equipment as soon as possible. I have made a sketch in my journal about the set and about the props as well for 19th century,which will help us to make the right decisions when we chose our props and not mix it with 21th century props.

On Friday me and Richard set up the set at lunchtime and then when we had our lesson we work on our acting. We decided to watch each other's performances and to give critical feedback at the end of it. Georgia and Richard went first and then me and Richard decided to help them out with their acting because they seemed to have some problems with it. I was voice coaching Georgia and Richard was voice coaching Spencer. I thought it went pretty well, I thought we were pretty much successful at it. We all had different opinions which we all calmly shared between us and it did work. Then me and Richard went through ours but we didn't have time to finish it.
