Each group is expected to organise and participate in at least one rehearsal every week. This rehearsal is outside class time. Many groups find it helpful to organise extra rehearsals in the final weeks before the performance.
The Gateway Building Drama spaces must be booked for rehearsals, your booking will ensure your access to the building and that supervision is provided. Bookings can be made through the portal as follows: dramastudiobookings@trinity.unimelb.edu.au

- The trigger is mysterious, seemed to contain several meanings or different interpretations
- It reminds me of a short play that I did as a primary student where a rich girl has two friends. Whenever she were to face difficulties, one of her friends will run the other way while another offers help and commfort. It reminds me of the capital city of my home country as well, where I was told a lot of people although may seem rich (own luxurious clothing, cars or houses) actually have very little savings as they need the money to maintain their reputation.
- Money cannot buy happiness and that what is presented to you may not be real.

-it makes me think of those people who has different presentation of their own true self and what they show to the world. its like a contradiction where it seems for people to be fine, happy and luxurious while inside they are feeling broke and lacking of happiness
- i imagine that the two person in the picture do not really care about the other person and surrounding, only caring for their own life as they are looking into different directions
-song lyrics: "And i'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes"

Rehearsal

I suggest that you use your rehearsal time to choose two ideas/inspirations and make a freeze/sculpture/photograph for each one. Make one of these more symbolic/abstract/dream like; and the other more realistic/ real life like. Choose one of these freezes to bring to life; so that the freeze becomes a short dramatic scene (like a play or movie). While you work think about how you use the performance space for dramatic effect: high or low levels, the ways bodies are grouped and what message this gives the audience. It helps to think about the 5 W's: who, when, where, what, why.

Remember: Begin to work physically as soon as possible in your rehearsals, as your thinking will be activated by doing. (it is easily to loose a lot of time just talking!)
