Next scene

After rehearsing our opening scene, we decided that we needed to put some of the edited script into our performance. To do this, we decided that our next scene would be the bathtub scene, where Mrs Pearce forces Eliza to take a bath. We decided to choreograph this section next. 
However, we felt that it would be confusing if Eliza was suddenly at Higgins's residence. To rectify this, we decided to add a small transitioning scene that depicts Eliza being bought by Mrs Pearce. She will look Eliza up and down, and will murmur something like- "Yes, I believe this is what he wanted." Finally, after observing me and Beth (we are other robots for sale), she decides upon Eliza and wheels her offstage. 

Moreover, throughout this transition, we decided to focus on how he were going to portray Mrs Pearce. Firstly, we collectively decided that Sophie would be good for the part of Mrs Pearce. However, we were unsure how she was going to change the character for our interpretation. We played with a few different techniques and representations of Mrs Pearce- confident and 'proper' with her movements, but her accent will be a strong cockney accent, or an extremely exaggerated interpretation of a cockney person- she will be hunched over and almost shriveled, and her face will be contorted. 

Overall, we havn't yet decided on how to play Mrs Pearce, but we will continue to play with her character in this scene.
