Prop Tables

I have been doing some research on how to create a props table, here are some examples;





I know that I need to use tape to break up a table into sections where eacho prop will go with a lable of what the prop is that goes in that space. I will have to make sure that the props are all set in place before the show and that each prop is returned to its space when it is not in use. I also need to make sure that there is some order in where the props are so that everthing runs smoothly.

In the end, I found that the best way was for everyone to be responsible for their own props and make sure that they return their props to the rightful place before the show. Once everyone was made responsible for their own props, the show ran very smoothly and there were no incidents with props going wrong. I would definitely say that the props were a success.

Stanislavsky

I have used Stanislavky's 'Units and Objectives' task in my script as I think that it would be really useful for bad girls as it has allowed me to break up my scenes into moods so that I know how my charactrer would be feeling and react in certain situations. For example, in Act 1 Scene 4 The stage directions say "Shell enters in a strop". I decided that Shell's super objective was To get Nikki into trouble and that her objective for that particular moment with the line 'What you looking at asbo?' would be to appear powerful by putting up a provado by being a buly when she's in a bad mood. So her objective would be "I want to instil fear".
