We started form page 25 which is the start of the second half. In this scene I am part of the ensemble , we had directed it so that we are all sitting around the outside of the mound of the set looking at a fake hand, we will have these as props for the show, we are looking at the hand because it represents Titus’s loss of his hand, we gasp and lower our heads on the line ‘ here are the heads of thy two noble sons’ we then lift our hand when jamila says the line ‘ and heres thy hand’ when this scene ends and Aaron enters we move around into a new space on the stage, when we are moving we are moving like dead people and when Aaron comes near us we have to use the laban effort of slash to represent flies flying around us like we are trying to get rid of them.
Next when lavinas is writing with her arms and the long stick all the ensemble lean in like we are around a camp fire. On the line’ stuprum. Chiron. Demetrius.’ Me and amber get up an d walk around up to the platform hissing.
After this moment i am no longer part of the ensemble and am Chiron again. We directed the scene of tamoras birth by having the ensemble open their legs and scream like they are giving birth. I go to exit on the line ‘come let us go’ but i don’t exit, i turn around again after the nurses monologue and i realise what has happened and whose child it is. This scene it quite good however i don’t know how to pass the sword to Aaron yet so this is something that needs to be directed.
After break we did a sword fighting exercise as Ben wants this to be part of the piece. I found this quite difficult and as i had a peri half way through i had to leave but i thought it looked very effective, we aren’t all confident at it however so it might be something that can’t be included if we don’t have the time to rehearse it.
