Evaluation 2

Please see my previous post for a full evaluation of our performance,

3 moments in our performance in our performance that were excellent were the transition back into jail after watching the horror movie. In our previous performance not all of us could remember what the lines were but this time before we went on we rehearsed what they were. We were all in unison and we moved as one towards the audience in such a menacing way I could feel them beginning to fear us then as we crash to the floor on "jail cell"  the resonating sound and then the absolute stillness of the stage afterwards was very effective. The stairs was a big hit with the audience as it looked aesthetically pleasing and translated into the stage space seamlessly. Scene 13 went off without a hitch and no one forgot their lines.

I think the rehearsal process was done very well on this project. We met up in our own time to rehearse pieces and when were in the divisional part of this play each individual met up to practise the scenes they had been given. I think we could have started bringing items of costumes in earlier to help us get into character easier during rehearsals. That's one thing about this unit, we could only rehearse what we'd already been allocated so learning lines earlier would not have been effective at all.

A fellow student from the other class said that the highlight of the entire play was the "haircut scene" with me and Edgar and that was one of my favourite parts to do. I added some extra bits in that weren't originally choreographed to add to the depth of the piece. When everyone was standing still as Edgar walked up the steps I slowly walked round the back eyes locked on him so if anyone was watching they were start questioning who I was and what my purpose on stage was then as everyone slammed on the floor it left me standing there making the transition just that bit more cleaner.
