Jack really went over our spirit scene, which I really appreciated, because I still wasn't too confident with how Jack wanted us to play them. We had the blocking all done, so it was really helpful to do some serious characterisation.
He told us that he wanted it to be a lot more sexual, so we had to make every word that we said sound very dirty. We had such a laugh doing this, but also it really helped us to build our own characters and explore a different way of saying our lines. I really enjoyed doing this and by deciding to make us a lot more sexual, it added some humour into the play, aside from Trinculo and Stephano.
Jack wanted Gus (Ferdinand) to be amazed by Marian (Juno) and Kitty (Miranda) to be amazed by me (Ceres) and Jack (Prospero) to be kissed by Dee (Iris). We all had to kiss each other as Jack wanted it to be really sexual and really convey to the audience that we are all obsessed with ourselves and each other.
We had to think that we were really incredible spirits. It was so much fun to portray all of this and we really hoped it would come across when we were on stage.
