Basic Process of each day 

- The first rehearsal would be dedicated to running through the script, answering queries people have on it, explaining the schedule over the next two weeks regarding the play, what is due when (for the designers), what needs to be done, aims/goals, etc. 

The rest of the rehearsal times would be as shown below: 
15 minutes Warm up: voice exercises, movement exercises, games, anything that would loosen up the actors, start up their energies (blood pumping) and prepare them for the upcoming drama practice.

15 minutes of getting into character. The actors should go off and get into character. They can either sit then move around, thinking about then being their characters. They take the time to step into the character's shoes. Think about how they are feeling in the situation of the script, what they are like, generating thoughts the characters might have on random subjects, commencing movements specific to the characters (e.g. their walk, how they sit) etc. This is important because the predominant element is Character, therefore time should be take particularly to focus on this element, because the exercises and the time to "step into the character" will be beneficial for the actors as they learn about their characters more closely and embodies them. This way, when they are on stage, they won't hesitate in acting out their characters, thus with the advance in expression, the mood will be elevated as the power and tension emanating from the characters' eyes, physicality and voice intensify. Meanwhile, director meets up with all the designers (of costume, sounds and lights, set), discuss what has been done, what still needs to be done, and sets due dates, making sure it is all due on the appropriate date.

60 minutes blocking the play. 

15 minutes actors memorizing lines, individually for the first ten minutes than as an ensemble for the last 5. 

15 minutes discussion time for actors who might have questions about their characters, designers who have queries on whatever issue, overall discussing issues/topics concerning the play; a time where everyone can freely speak their mind about the play (evaluation & reflection) and issues can be discussed to be resolved.
