We worked on the prologue and because the Vizier wassnt there i filled in for him and took down what he does for when he comes back. There photos were taken from setting the first part. As a group we had the strength of keeping focused so we went through to plotting and then in to making it better. At this point we all throw in our ideas on what would look good but as a group we tried it out and if it didnt work we would have changed it.
As we did the first part of the prologue theres a scene where the Vizier would say
'And the halls of this palace would sing with his laughter'
everyone had to raise up from bowing and laugh loudly, Gavin then said who ever laughs the best will win some of Ali Baba's gold(Chocolate coins) this made everyone go in to character and it brought the scene to life.
As it was the first it was best not have everyone center stage doing something so having times where it would need marking the moment it was easy for example when King Shahrayar would say the line
'The King swore that from now on he would marry for one night only'
all the girls accept from Shaharazad and Dinarzad would form a line facing the audience then turning to there backs and dropping on there heads would represent the killing of every wife the King had married and killed.
In the last half of the prologue we had a marrage scene, we thought of different ways to show this scene but at the end we had a white net help over the King and Shaharazad it helped mark the moment as it made them center of attention.
My strengths are that i was focused and on time for cues.
My weaknesses was that i needed to focus more on what instruction Gavin gives.
Strengths of the group are that we were focused and we listened to everyones ideas.
We had some weaknesses when we broke out of focus

Cat I really like how you have incorporated pictures into your blog. Its nice how the pictures tell a bit of a story of how the rehearsal progressed. This post does seem to lack detail though, you don't really reflect on how the rehearsal went and although you have identified your strengths and weaknesses you fail to write about how they themselves impacted the rehearsal. You need to write down your targets also, and these should relate to your strengths and weaknesses.
