Today, we rehearsed after school for the play. The best opportunity that we have to select the characters and watch all the actors´ habilities is in a rehearsal. It is very important to have different activities prepared that will tell you which actor or actress could be an specific character.

Today Roberto assigned each of us a different activity. Well, we had to prepare an activity for the rehearsal. An activity that was very useful to select people to interpret the different characters of the play.

Our objective was to relax everybody making them to rest in the floor in position A. Then they had to wake up little by little every part of their body and then they had to stand up as their character assigned.That was the plan but we made a lot of mistakes during the process.

Once we finished our activities we realized that we didn´t plan it very well. It was a little disorganised. One of te mistakes that we had was to separate all the people in different teams. One team was made up of soldiers. The Second team were a lot of princess and finally the las team were old men. While one group was still waking up their body the other groups were watching them doing nothing. And they started to get bored, and one of our objectives is always to keep an actor busy, giving him something to do. They have a lot of things to do, they need to prepare their voice, body, face expressions, movements, warm up, etc. A lot of thing that an actor needs to do before they start to act.

Anyway, we know what our mistakes were and we learnt how to do it next time. I´ve learnt how I need to plan in order to have a better and a good result.

Did we really learnt or we are still going to make mistakes?
