Evaluation for devises


So over the last 4 weeks we have worked on a devise piece the type of style our devise piece we were aiming for was contemporary. So the devises show which we performed was called 'Then Real Christina' the name was group decision. The 4 weeks have not been easy is has been stressful and hard as for the first 2 weeks it was very hard to get the group to work together and instead of taking steps forward each day we was taking a step back. This was because the group was not forced enough during this time period, staying force was one of the group weakness. I found during long period the whole group had the moments so to keep us on track we had small brakes and worked in smaller groups to creat a sense then come together at the end. This helped us move forward.

So after we finally got we're we wanted to be the pace of the performance moved fast even though we had different dynamics during the piece this was enough weakness for us as we started to worry that we would not hit the time limit to even pass. We solved this by slowing down some of the different monologue and add more dialogue in. The three sense we decide to have dialogue in turntable out to be one of our strongest parts in the performance I found that I had an issue with what I was saying within my vocal delivery as my pronunciation on the word 'something' as I was saying as 'somethink'   So I kept putting a k on the end. I solved this by doing diction and articulation excises in my spare time at home some of these was just putting my fingers in between my mouth and saying different words and puns and even tongue twisters this helped me get the 'g'  at the end if the word.

The group also lacked in characteristic at the being of the full run through at the being of weeks 4 as we never really added in this was a weakness again during our rehearsal period so after looking at each scene we looked were we could add it in instead of playing it with no emotions in it. So we had different characters such as bully's in the circle sense and fear, proud, mad, worried, calm, sad and happy was played by different people in the 'train sense' we found this worked really well.

One of my personal weakness was in the comer sense I put together and was my idea this was struggle with me due to the fact I was playing Christian at this point and had to work with staying steal on one point to show that the other people on stage couldn't see me but the audience still could. Also I had issues with exits during one of the scene as I couldn't fine the counter to get off the box lucky dan was behind me and helped with this and we both made it back on in time for the flowing scene.

So overall it seems  that the group struggled a lot but the truth is that after all are weakness we came out on top as we managed to get our aim through to the audience are aim was to ' The audience to come out with them question their-self and who they really are, are we told to be who we are? Have other people made us what we are ? We also wanted the audience to feel;...
.emotions
.self discovery
.philosophical
   I know this due to the feed back we received from the audience as some even said "Left me wondering if we are free" so over all I am pleased with the outcome of the group as I feel that we archived energy out through the performance and dynamics in the show such as the mirror scene and the real Christian as this was the sense we had group movement with our heads, legs and the breathing.  We also had physical theatre during our show and example of this was the hospital dance/fight which I created.
