Project Title Little Shop of Horrors

Section 1: Review
Over my time at BTA I have developed a myriad of new skills that I will carry with me into the future.
One of many new skills I have learnt is how to effectively work in groups and ensembles, by developing
people skills such as problem solving and communication. This skillset will be highly useful in the
theatre industry, due to collaboration being part of the job. I have also, however, developed my ability to
work independently through experiences like my independent project. Before this course I had struggled
with time management, and the course deadlines have allowed me to work through that to a point
where I now manage my work efficiently, creating higher quality written and practical work. I have
developed my acting in many ways, such as development of character work and understanding how to
connect to a piece, as well as acting for stage vs screen, and this is why I chose to act for the FMP. But
our exploration of other disciplines like design has allowed me to develop my individual artistic voice,
which has heavily contributed to my confidence and will help me throughout the theatre industry, which
is what I want to go into in future.

Section 2: Project Concept

Our aim is to create a show that acts as a cautionary tale for the over development of modern-day
technologies within our classist society. With our version of Little Shop, we knew that a modern retelling
would connect deeper with an audience, providing a fresh take and provoking relevant questions for an
audience to reflect and respond to in the real world. We aim to create a show that centers a queer
relationship, and highlights the negative impact of modern media, as desperation for social media fame
and overuse of technology eventually comes back to bite our characters. We will create this musical
over 4 weeks of intensive 10-5 rehearsals. I will produce theory work that links back to our piece and
helps development in the rehearsal space. As I am playing the main character, my main aim is to stay
on top of my theory work, lines and songs. I will complete my theory work by each deadline, and have
songs and lines learnt by the second week of intensives. To stay on top of this work, I must look after
myself physically. I will conduct independent study around rehearsals, practicing lines and blocking, and
speak to my tutor weekly to get feedback on my work to build from.

Section 3: Evaluation
Over intensives, I will use my weekly reflection videos and my detailed action plan to
help manage my big role, and always have pens and highlighters on me as I know being
prepared is the key to my success. My action plan will cover everything I intend to do
each day, including in class and independent study. I will also use this space to write in
my reminders about things to bring in like water and my script, this will help with my aim
of looking after myself and preventing burnout. My weekly reflection videos will discuss
what got completed in class in relation to the action plan and allow me to evaluate what
needs to change for next week to maximize work quality. My script will act as my
database for my rehearsal notes and I will bring this in each day. I will also be using the
voice recorder on my phone to record my vocal lines for reference.

On Monday we will start our

rehearsals by doing a warm

Movement Director, and
Ash who is our MD. Our
rehearsal days will run from

lunch at 12.45 for an hour.
We will then cover Little

Morning with Ash before
lunch, snd after we will sing
Dont Feed the Plants and

at detail and intention of
scene 1 and 2. We will then
go and learn Meek again
with Ash, before staggering
through what we had
learned earlier.

Tuesday -

After our warm up me and

Veronica will go down to the
green room to work on our
earliest scene together and
discuss movement around
that. After this we will come
and sing Git It for the others
to watch. We will then go
over this song with Ash
after whilst the others work
with Lydia on scenes, and
then me and Tallulah will
look at our first scene
together with Lydia. After
lunch we will present and
stagger through everything
we have done.

Wednesday -

warmups we will cover
everything we have done
with Lydia beforehand, and
stop for detail. After lunch
we will do the same thing
again except without
stopping.

Thursday -

Thursday will be our day to

begin looking at movement,
so after our warm ups we
will work with Sophie Cottle
to begin looking at some
movement in the show. She
will start by looking at Skid
Row which will take up the
whole morning as we
choreograph the song. After
lunch, they will look at
Dentist whilst I check my
lines, and then they will do
Little Shop and we will
watch.
