Next we have Tinkerbell who is played by Erin Whalley, Sadie McLoughlin and Paige Thornton!
Have any of you been involved in projects at The Dukes before?
Erin: Yes, I go to the Youth Theatre, so do projects there and other ones during the holidays.
Paige & Sadie: Nope
What made you choose to audition for the role?
Erin: I heard about it through DT3 and wanting to perform and enjoying being in the park made me want to do it.
Paige: A close friend told me about it.
Sadie: I was doing my work experience at The Dukes, and they told me about it and said I should audition, which made me want to do it!
What challenges does this project pose for you?
Sadie: Getting myself organised!
Erin: Scheduling and balancing home life and rehearsals.
Paige: Listening skills and not getting easily distracted.
You're all playing Tinkerbell- what is the most exciting thing about this role for you?
Paige: It’s very exciting because I can relate to her as she is energetic, moody and fast.
Sadie: It’s very exciting being really girly, and moody! It’s good fun and I’m excited for the costumes.
Erin: It’s very well known, so I’m excited about making it my own.
What discoveries were made about your character through rehearsal that perhaps weren’t explicit in the script?
Paige: She is sulky but cares dearly for Peter.
Erin: The cheekyness has come through.
What kind of games and exercises have you been playing during rehearsals?
Paige: We have played a game called ‘yes lets’, a tig like game and we did a Lost Boys dance!
Erin: Teamwork (cat and mouse) and working without vocal communication.
What have you particularly enjoyed about the Peter Pan process so far?
Sadie: Meeting the professionals!
Erin: Working with the adult cast and rehearsing in the park.
Paige: I’ve loved rehearsing the first scenes with the professionals.
And conversely, is there anything that you have found particularly difficult?
All 3: Nothing so far!
What tips would you give to other emerging performers?
Erin: Expect to sacrifice other clubs/things and see all of the fun elements all of the time.
Paige: Take advice and constructive criticism; Listen to the director at all times; Have fun but be sensible.
