During the rehearsal process I have learnt how difficult it actually is not to spill water or juice on a table cloth during scene changes.

I have learnt not to act like your listening but to actually listen to what people are saying on stage no matter how many times you hear it, if you listen, the reactions would be more authentic and realistic.

I think that working with real food on stage was a big step for us because most of us are used to miming food and I think that during the scene changes when we have to put the food on the plates quickly without re-arranging any of the food, I found this quite challenging because everyone is trying to move it onto the plates quickly, it is very easy to knock the food out of someone’s hand so we all have to be careful.

I think that the rehearsal process is going really well because we have stopped the improvisation process and have now moved onto straight rehearsals.

I sometimes find it hard concentrating where we have to sit down for long periods of time and I do admit my mind does drift off and I often find myself panicking because I can’t remember what line comes next.

I think that I remember my cues well, although I do miss a few sometimes and my lines aren’t that bad, I know that I have improved and I know that by the show there won’t be any mistakes.
