Directing Actors for Screen - Day Five

On Day Five, we began the process of rehearsal and direction practice, with each student having a whole day directing their own script with the support of Alkinos, and observed by other participants. Actors (Kym Krejus, Rob Alec and John Brumpton) rehearsed performed Walking to Avalon, written by acclaimed playwright and screenwriter Daniel Keene, and directed by student Marcella.

Kym Krejus plays a woman shunned from her family many years ago after falling pregnant with her son, Eddie (Rob Alec). Drunk in a pub at her father's wake, she takes her anger out on her brother (John Brumpton).

With the least amount of dialogue, the scene revolves around Eddie who finds himself caught between two polar opposite personalities. A highlight was the sense of real emotions achieved by the cast.
