Rebecca always walks into the rehearsal space on time with an immediate
professional attitude towards work. When blocking various scenes from Grease with
our director, Rebecca always spoke when she was hesitant about something showing
she cared about how each scene was portrayed. Rebecca had to deliver particular
lines before the opening number ‘Summer Nights’, Mr Sluman our director mentioned
her accent wasn’t American like it needed to be, so Rebecca asked her peers to say
the line in an American accent. Each company member did this which Rebecca then
took on board and immediately applied the same techniques to make sure she had an
American accent when delivering her lines. This impressed me due to her
professionalism towards work as she didn’t hesitate when it came to obstacles within
her performance, she worked hard to improve her performance which she achieved by
seeking out for help straight away when reaching an obstacle. She soon overcome
these boundaries by working towards the feedback she had been given. Rebecca’s
way of dealing with obstacles which occurred during our rehearsals and her attitude
