I play Nibbs who is one of Peter Pans lost boys and in todays rehearsal i feel that both me and Slightly began to find the energy and personalitiy of the lost boys. At first i was playing Nibbs to much like the other characters that are trapped under the net , instead of being cheeky and very energetic i took Nibbs to be extreemly scared of all the pirates. However i think that Nibbs and Slightly unlike the other people trapped on the ship see through the pirates and see them as ridiculuous rather than a huge threat. Nibbs also is convinced that peter pan is coming to save them so though he is still afriad and worried he knows that everything will be okay leading to him being very cheeky towards the pirates and actually stands up to them. Nibbs' confidence is proved in the line in which he stands up to one eyed bill as no one else dares speak out espeically in regards to peter pan , yet Nibbs is full of youth and energy and is fearless.
Having a really high energy is very important for the lost boys on the pirate ship scene. In the pirate number there is most of the cast involved in a hugely energetic and exciting dance and song , this means that as lost boys we also have to keep up the energy. This is a challenege as we are not invloved in the dance and confined in a ssmall space under a net , meaning there is not much we can play with. However by interacting with the pirates and Slightly i feel i have been able to bring up my own energy and create an exciting performance which ensures that energy levels do not drop hugely. Using the set of the steps where we are tied up i have tried to find different places to stand and bits of railing to shake in order to create movement that isnt stagnant.
