Extra rehearsal time for Midsomer Night's Dream

All this morning we have been assesed by Aimee and Sonya, we have been working and trying to improve on our Scene pieces or Monologues.
During our observation time I have learnt a few techniques on how I could imnproveon my character of Midsomer's Night dream. Hippolyta I could use more facial expressions to get the character across. Even though she is very Highly thought of, I really want to embrace my character and get her across in other elements of the play script. 
 Even though I have read the script of Midsomer's Night's Dream, I really want to put my take on the Character " Hippolyta" and put a 21st Century feel into her but also keep the original character rained in. During rehearsals of our piece from Midsomer Night's Dream I have developed my character in loads of aspects so for instance I have developed the way she walks, so instead of myself just coming on stage I have developed a walk with " Purpose" and give meanings to why she is on-stage during rehearsals. As for her mannerisms, again I have developed mannerisms, although I have not changed my own I have made my character's  more refined to mine in ever-day life.
The way she speaks during the Play the pitch, persition and clarity of her tone is the exact same but I hae developed an lady-like accent for her, so every letter is pronounced correctly and her P's and Q's are used. Also as she is the Queen of ATHENS" the way she positions herself is crucial, so she will sit with poise. Even though I sit quiet girly I want my character to be very lady-like so that means shoulders down, no sloutching legs closed and together and finally feet together and to the side. As for her hands neatly placed on her lap.
