Ensemble Performance

Ok, so I have a massive lesson planned. We will begin to devise our ensemble (group) performance. We will be using selected dialogue from the play Macbeth. I'm hoping we can incorporate the physical theatre techniques we've developed thus far with these lines and maybe some music. The scene from Macbeth that we will be using is the famous 'Sleepwalking' scene where Lady Macbeth reveals a little too much information about having murdered old King Duncun to speed up the process of her husband Macbeth becoming King. It is a powerful moment in the play and the indisputably best ever portrayal of this role is by Judy Dench (1979).
