We was also assigned homework to find good Shakespeare’s scenes.

We’ve also learned from the following session about monologues and speeches.

Tuesday 17th September 2019

We did the Neutral Chair exercise; as this is where we had to walk towards the chair and sit down without having any reason behind the status or emotion, therefore giving no reason for why we are walking to the chair.

I learnt from this that it’s impossible to pull off a empty plain attempt at approaching the chair since you’re always showing some form of story; although you try not to show you, that you end up such as rushed, depressed, sad or even annoyed.

I had to also do a mind map based on my monologue as this technique didn’t work as effectively for me since I didn’t spend enough time on it since it didn’t feel right for me, as I would like to experiment with different techniques in future to assist with my monologues.

In our second lesson we began using the skipping rope which was rather challenging for me due to my first attempt at this which kinda caught me off guard; although it seemed quite simple I felt rather tedious about repeating the same mistake which was when I ended up getting underneath it in time, however I jumped on the rope due to rushing.

I feel like this really helped me as It kinda showed me in a way that I tend to rush without actually focusing or concentrating on the goal; as this led me to second guessing myself throughout which is another issue I end up having during my performance.

Space Relations

In our final lesson we did learning space relations; as I found this quite relaxing due to the fact that we would just move around exploring and getting comfortable with our space

We then began to explore Shapes: this being moving within the concept of lines and angles, at first I wasn’t sure how this worked which had me somewhat confused on the space trying to work out what he meant by moving in lines.

In the end we explored our final view points which would be.

Tuesday 24th September 2019

In today’s lesson we continued to looking at grey spaces as well by exploring the space more with a different variety as well without music; although I did find this quite challenging since in the beginning I felt like that the music kept me distracted instead of overthinking what I was doing at the time.

I would like to be able to freely express my creativity as well adaptability to the atmosphere and space more clearly without being so consciously nervous of what I’m doing as this tends to be what causes me to zone into the space allowing my to take observation of the audience as It would put me off heavily.

I’m hoping to improve on this through practising my concentration and focusing skills as well confidence levels through volunteering more often or even to participate in activities more often in front of everyone.

Tuesday 22nd October 2019

During my rehearsal period, I decided to use repetition for when I glance at Hermia several times giving off some sense of desperation and desire for her whilst I stand up doing my speech towards her.

I found this difficult in the beginning since I wasn’t firm on having my lines learned which made it rather hard to focus on the actions with the lines leading me to slip on words or even to forget what I’m saying.

I’m hoping to improve on this by spending my time to learn my lines in my spare time, even with my peers for when were all available.

Tuesday 29th October 2019

I decided to look further into the theme’s of the performance to have a much more clearer view on the aspects of the performance itself such as: Jealousy, Dreams and even Magic as these all we’re displayed throughout the performance such as jealousy between Lysander and Demetrius and that I’ve also decided what I was hoping for my character to be wearing such as the following clothes.

Tuesday 5th November 2019

I’ve looked into a good majority of research for my character as well potential approaches towards the play, as I found out that due to the way of the characters being poisoned by some form of hypnotic love potion of mischief, that it would lead me up to coming up with a conclusion to play my character with a more brain washed like attitude.

20/12/2019,

the love potion is properly administered to Demetrius so that he falls in love with Helena. 

https://study.com/academy/lesson/demetrius-in-a-midsummer-nights-dream-character-traits-analysis.html

This has helped me to come up with a concept that he could potentially be somewhat more out of connection with himself and reality however I have also received feedback off of my lecturer today informing me that he should be played more “Camp” – Overly exaggerated or for which I would consider to be my view upon this word.

This for sure has helped me to make the character more funny, as It helped to make it flow more clearly without being basic however I still found it difficult considering that I would still allow some of my own personalities slide through into the character breaking it from the context that he should be played as.

I would like to improve on this by exploring the characters actions, personality, views and even relations more clearly through doing in-depth research about Demetrius.

Tuesday 12th November 2019

In today’s lesson I found out that I wasn’t freely exploring the way of how I’m using my sentences for example “No, No. follow as you will do, you are a tame man go!”; I using this whole phrase in an aggressive approach towards Lysander due to the way he feels about him liking Helena as well.

This wasn’t the case as I recently gotten feedback from one of my peers who mentioned how I should be using apart of it as a response to Hermia’s character being pushed away by him for which then I use from “follow as you will do” towards Lysander as the first bit is me reassuring Hermia.

I would like to improve on this by doing research into the contextual side of the script and my characters intentions and circumstances for what’s cause him to act or feel a certain way at the current time.

Video of Rehearsal Period

Tuesday 26th November 2019

During today’s session we got in early to do group rehearsals for which I was still following my actions of playing the character, however was concentrating far too much on Luka’s character which I was given feedback from Leyla regarding understanding the lines more clearly as some of them didn’t come to me clearly.

I was also given feedback from Lily to focus my characters attention more onto her character as my role (Demetrius): was fascinated with Helena due to the potion.

I found this very difficult considering that I wouldn’t know what moments to react with due to the short time frame of adjusting the last changes before the performance.

It was only then that we got into class to perform, yet it seemed that we had an hour and more to rehearse even more which gave me time to polish on top of these; although that I felt slightly concerned about overthinking these changes during the performance as that would lead up to me putting myself off of focus.

In future I would like to expand my acceptance and confidence for last minute changes as well to be more versatile for when it comes to experimenting with use of displaying character emotions or feelings through face.

I’ve been able to also practice and focus more clearly without overthinking everything due to the amount of exercises we’ve done to take myself out of my comfort zone more often, therefore challenging my confidence as I’ve achieved this through working on my mental focus and objectives.

Audition Materials/Monologues Evaluation

In the beginning I found it challenging to find potential monologues that could suit my interest for which then I had several opportunities to do practice auditions. I found it rather regrettable that I wasn’t able to obtain two potential monologues until the final practice audition; although I learned from choosing Alan Rickmen and after showcasing it. I found it to be a consistent horrible rant which didn’t suit me, so I’d like to improve on my selections by doing further research into certain authors and what the monologues are about.

I’ve chosen one of the monologues out of Pat Barkers book which is Regeneration as the monologue is about a fellow guy talking about the war for when he was there.

I found this monologue very intriguing to me because of the use of pacing throughout it being slow; although that certain moments are very meaningful of how quickly it all changes and what has happened.

The most enticing part of it to me was the way it was delivered such as the lines of “I climb out of this dungeon once again”, as this s describes the state of the trenches until he gets to the top and starts describing it for as If it’s events that occurred in the past and his colleagues being ‘Towers’ would be singing for as If they we’re the good times.

I chose a monologue out of Killer Joe done by Tracy as I started off with playing it off more as of enforcing against the person who is with Dottie being Chris’s Sister; although that this felt right, I found out from feedback that it sounded more effective and accurate when held at gun
point as if my character being (Chris) was trying to tell Joe that he isn’t a good fit for Dottie because of his way of living.

As Joe tends to kill loads of people with his firearm for a living therefore being some kind of murderer for which my character heavily fears him at the time yet is trying to get him to leave Dottie alone without violence by comparing joe himself and his parents aren’t perfect, however that Dottie still turned out perfectly fine.

I was happily satisfied with my overall progression with the performance however If I could improve on anything it would be a more transparent understanding of the story within the characters and how they came to be within the situation that they’re currently in.

As for future reference I would like to advance my research in having a better evaluation and any analysis of where each character originated from and the relationship between one another and what it was like between Dottie and her parents.

I would’ve also liked to have spent more time at looking at various of other monologues to find contrasting paved monologues to be more difficult as both of them we’re equally steadily paced with one being historic and the other one being about a family and murder.

Artaud

10/04/19

In today’s session, we explored various way’s of creating an atmosphere of Artaud through using different approaches such as being ‘Audience Placement, Recording, Screaming, Primitive Sound and even Experimented Sound’: I wasn’t completely sure on the use of ‘Experimented Sound’ as I could only assume that this was possibly mixing different noises and sounds together to create something that sounds like an ‘abomination’ or even unsettling.

I would like to do further research into other techniques or methods that could be used with Artaud to create a more developed approach towards the performance.

In my spare time at home I looked at any other form of approach to Artaud and the way’s of Theatre of Cruelty as I found out that we could possibly use disturbing images to put off the audience.

29/11/19

In today’s session we proceeded with working on the state of our performance as I found out that whenever I was bending backwards it felt quite uncomfortable and that the timing was also off regarding my reaction time: It was due to the way I was standing with my knee’s being sorta locked upon bending back for which I would be forcing my knee’s to relax too quickly.

I’m hoping to work on this by getting use to exploring different ways of approaching much safer stances for when I’m bending backwards without forcing it too quickly.

I would like to do this within my sparetime at home ready for next week.

6/12/19

In today’s lesson we began to rehearsing our performance once again as I was focusing mostly around polishing my timing on entering and that I had to improve on my screaming or even growling scream upon entering, as I would usually enter without putting enough projection into it.

It was in the beginning that I worked out it was hurting my throat; although this wasn’t a good I would like to find a solution to this by working on past exercises that we’ve been taught such as the ‘Ha, Ha’: as this will help me to root myself more instead of forcing it out.

I also realized that I was always reaching my neck forwards when jumping out or sometimes with moments of aggression, so I would like to focus on not using my neck as the answer to doing aggressive moments or even scenes.

I’ve managed to work on my coordination and timing for the possessive scene for when I have to bend backwards screaming as this was feeling quite uncomfortable and off due to the positioning of how I would be standing and bending over.

13/12/19

Today was our performance date which is where we ran several tech rehersals for which is where we had to get our make up prepared with also our scenes staged with the lighting. I found this to be quite exciting to be ready to perform this; although at the same time was wondering what I could have contributed If we had more time since I wasn’t sure whether my presentation side up to the required standard and would’ve liked to presented in more depth regarding the side of explaining my side of what I’ve research.

The only issue I encountered was consistently thinking of how I would come about entering since It wasn’t planned with an audience and our setting of staging, so I wasn’t sure whether any audience member would be in the way or If there would be some form of entry.

It was resolved by deciding the seating though with me being stuck within the wings leaving me with such an awkward angle to get a run up to dash in whilst jumping at the same time as I was hidden around the side of the wing so I had to run out and turn to approach my part: I was able to pull this off however would like to improve on my problem solving skills since I was stuck overthinking the complication therefore potentially creating one for myself instead of keeping completely relaxed.

In the end of the performance it went extremely well with high coordination and team work as we then gathered feedback from the audience allowing them time to deliver helpful information for the future.

In the overall run of the feedback from the audience I was satisfied my groups progression as It was enjoyable working with one another.

Artuad Reflection

Our group done further research into the selected religion as well culture as this helped with identifying the meaning behind it action.

The Process

It all started for when we began with a different variety of exercises regarding senses such as high pitch noises, as we then began to move around exploring all possible abnormal movements and sounds based on what we could hear coming from the sounds and noises.

In this exercise I explored the movement of a creature screeching sounds which gave me an idea of some sort of golem/naked defiled corpse which resembled like a naked male who has been through countless tortures.

In the beginning this was challenging; although quite enticing to indulge myself within the activity as then we began another activity which was describing our day with sounds and actions: I decided to do my kitchen with waking up then following up with toast and the kettle.

In the following weeks to come we began to also exploring fantasy stories and then putting a twist on them to relate to Artuad without following the actual story but to create something that seems to be a ‘nightmare or twisted version’.

It was only then after completing and performing this that we watched a video of an exampled piece which helped to compare the perspective that someone else done it and what we’ve done; although it felt rather uneasy with how it felt yet helped me to understand how our piece should’ve looked. It was only then we began to explore the script of ‘Company of Wolves’.

This was difficult to begin with to understand until we started to read it over with an assignment to do further research into the pages as this also helped with identifying certain key words that describe the characters, relations as well situations. I found out that there are two potential different routes that could be referenced with evidence to back up such as how the girl eventually felt pity for him and decided to stay with him and the other was that she was forced or gave in to him because she knew she had no chance due to being surrounded by wolves.

As soon as this assignment was completed and that we all showed and explained within a presentation of what we got, we then formed it into a piece in front of the other group to explain that part of the story: It was then we decided to use acting to form picture frames with steady narration to explain what’s happening before we swap to the next tableau.

It was then we swapped around and watched the other group do their presentation which helped collect the whole story more clearly for which then we began to break it down into a group and created a structure which explains how we are going to perform it as we used key words such as ‘red, white with a religious angle’ – as this led us to basing the characters off cultural names which matched the characters persona’s as this helped with developing and playing the characters more clearly for the audience.

Then came the day of performing it; although I found out that on the day I chose an uncomfortable approach certain scene’s for which is where I had placed myself in a horrible stance when leaning over and it caused me to shake which also made the scene look rather off.

I would like to improve on my bodily core and stability by doing consistent yoga and movement exercises to help with stabilizing more complex stances and actions.

It was then we finally came together doing a reshape on our performance which then we changed around how was going to perform it leading to developing such scenes being the Indian Dance, Wolf scare and circle movement which then goes into a sexual interaction between both wolves to cause discomfort. It was then we finished off with the possession like scene going into the uncomfortable circle transition of staring and making snorting/laughing noises with long lasting stares on a side we’ve decided.

We then worked on our final scene falling backwards and crawling back to back forming some kind of bodily circle whilst laughing in different ways whilst staring at someone still and that was the end.

Challenges

• Understanding the objective of Artuad in the beginning.
• Briefing and breaking down the script.
• Exploring a more creative manner for the actions and noises.
• Enhancing my comfort with expanding creativity (Self-Conscious of self).
• Coordinating with my partners and higher level of confidence.
• Further research into Artuad – advanced contextual understanding as well.
• More Contributions.
• In-depth understanding of the cultural aspects and events.

Research

https://www.theknot.com/content/hindu-wedding-guest-qa ‘This helped with finding out about the Pooja as well what’s the meaning behind the mark placed on the forehead’

The red marking on the forhead is classed as a ‘Bindi’

I would have chosen this dress for my character to resemble the marriage scene.

I looked into what other traditional events took place during the marriage as they would pour milk on the groom’s feet.

After watching the play back, how did I feel about it?

After watching the performance, I was rather please with outcome of the actions and Artaud used within it such as the swift transition of silence into some form of ‘primal’ shout upon entering for which I was able to catch an audience member off guard causing them to scream and jump; although this wasn’t my intention I found it to be very enjoyable.

I found maintaining a strong position when bending to be slightly difficult since the beginning of the rehearsal periods however have been practicing exercises that require using my limbs more often such as ‘planking’ and also warm ups with stretching and balancing.

I reckon that the ensemble coordination was very smooth without any concerns as I could see that everyone was focused and heavily concentrating on the performance and the space with every slight action and space used up. We had the audience sitting in a circle which was quite effective since It allows us to move around within such a tight and limited space but also to catch them off guard from the outside.

In the beginning of learning about Artaud, I found the circle to be more useful than using the Semi-Circle and also hunched back to back as this left the audience to be less comfortable considering that within those they could see the other audience members therefore causing some disturbance of being able to see how they feel and express during the performance.

There was a small brief of feedback gathered such as the cultural choice of items such as the used ‘rope’. I think that I would’ve liked to improve on my research into what they actually used regarding the symbolization of the event occurring at the time.

How does it relate to the Theatre of Cruelty & Artaud

The Theatre of cruelty was all about disturbing the audiences sense with unexpected actions and sounds which could also include long lasting silences of gazing, staring or even nothing; although all of these can cause different impacts the use of spacing and objects as well sounds.

The main objective of ‘Theatre of Cruelty’ is about breaching the audiences senses

Who is Artaud?

Artaud was highly identified to be a well known Actor and playwright, who was steadily left the ideal of surrealism as the movement helped him to mold his theories ‘Theatre of Cruelty’.

How does this benefit my knowledge and understanding of work

Learning about Artaud has helped me to understand a more different way of approaching Theater instead of directly putting on a performance to entertain or even to immerse them into some kind of journey, as Artaud allows me to immerse the audience whilst not allowing them to sink into a comfortable slumbering state whilst watching.

It’s showed me that Theater can be taken to a much more extensive limitation then Physical Theater and also has shown where’s the breaking point for what should and shouldn’t be done.

Targets & Goals

• I would like to improve on my organisation skills.
• I would like to enhance my creativity for when it comes to working with the sounds and noises.
• I would like to do more in-depth research to back up the contextual side.
• I would like to locate a mass majority of references to use as resources.
• I’d like to expand more on Artaud then what we’ve already been told in our sessions.
• I would like to use the next opportunity for presentation to evaluate and create a more visible and friendly approached collage to express to the audience more clearly.
• Improve on my confidence levels with contributing.
• Team coordination skills and core work

How did I improve on this?

I would like to improve on my organisation skills by create a more structured and timetable system by using a folder with Unit Names with highlighted brief questions & scheduling time dates for specific days of working on my assignments.

I’m planning to achieve this through sorting out my equipment as well using some type of reminding calendar or notification with dates pre-set for planned deadlines before the official deadlines.

I am hoping to enhance my creativity for when it comes to comparing movement and actions to the noises whilst using this to development something that seems rather out of the ordinary to affect the audience’s senses by developing ghastly and ghoul like screeches, painful irrational cries with matching movement such as a ‘werewolf transformation’ or ‘ghoul like man losing himself’.

I’m hoping to expand on my research capabilities by looking into relatable theatre’s or places that used the practitioners methods and other possible techniques that ‘Artaud’ has used to have an impact on his audience and why did he choose it.

List of methods and techniques

• We did a method for moving around whilst listening to sounds and noises whilst exploring the space.
• We then began making sounds with all kinds of objects within the room, as I chose to do it with a plastic cup.

DPS

The Greeks performed at the ‘Theatre of Dionysus which was capable of witholding ‘21,000’ audience members. It was known that the festival was only maintained and held throughout the day time.

It was also noted that all of the prisoners would be allowed out for one day to see this and yet It was the only form of entertainment back then.

It wouldn’t have been possible to use any form of sound effect.

Antigone Process (Presentation)

Presentation Reflection

I was rather pleased with the outcome due to the amount of research and choices that I’ve taken such as exploring a different way to stage it for which I decided to go for a ‘Western’ interest. I found this interesting since when certain sheriff’s obtain their position within that town, and this ends up leading to power hungry decisions for whatever the sheriff claims is what tends to stick leading to people requiring to abide by the rules in that town and If they didn’t like someone, then they’d be exiled which really intrigues me since I can relate this to one of the brothers exiling.

I also thought that it would be a good idea to have the stand off between the brothers in the towns roadway for which they’d have back then.

As this then leads to the sheriff of the town and the exiled brother shooting each other, leading to a dual connected death which then Creon taking the position of sheriff.

Monologue Presentation

Sentry’s Monologue

Were gonna pull straws to see who ends up with the short straw, I hope it isn’t me as I haven’t got any idea on how to deliver the news to Creon himself. If I do draw it, then how do I tell him. Do I address it in a sudden manner to get it over with? No, No, No. That wouldn’t be right, as he would just blow up in fury and strike me down with one of his other child.

This is a very difficult one, but maybe I shouldn’t be overthinking it right now because I haven’t drawn a straw yet! Yes, that’s right, I haven’t pulled one out yet, but If I do? What do I do? I’ve got it! I could level myself at his standing point to show that I’m not afraid and that I don’t deserve to be taken down with the others. It’s all out or nothing.

How do I approach him now? I haven’t thought that part through and yet I should’ve thought it through before working out how to even tell him. It could be that I inform him of the matter that we noticed it from the distance or above! That’s gotta be the way to do it right?

Haha, I’m sure that’s the best way to come about it, now- say I didn’t pull the small straw, then It wouldn’t matter right? That would be so perfect, but I shouldn’t be to sure that I will or won’t. It’s either that I will or that I won’t- but the odds that I would are unbelievable. I already know that a lot of problems just spring my way all the time and yet, I can’t control that. So that’s it then. If I end up pulling the small straw, I will muster everything that I’ve got and will stand my ground in front of King Creon, and will make sure that I tell him that the body was buried, and If he still stands up with threats towards me. I’ll be sure to state my leave, that’s right!

I will stand up to King Creon himself and state that I desire to never come back after the matter since I don’t want anything to do with his troubles anymore an- I’ve got it, I’ll bring him the culprit themselves, that’s perfect. If I do that then that would show my personal worth and would also clear his judgement upon me. I would have done what was expected of me.

In that circumstance, I’ve got everything solved and won’t have to have a worry in the world for when I pull this short straw, and It’s coming to it. The day is going by and the time is coming, I can see it coming drawing close with a haste. The more I stand here on guard, and that the day is moving by quickly. I see so many people, and who know’s that this person has walked past us so many times.

I’ll be the first to find and for sure will, and no matter how far you are or how well you hide yourself. I’m gonna set up a trap, that trap is gonna be perfect, In fact so perfect that they’re not gonna see it coming. I better head off now as the circle is calling, the circle for making the decision on who pulls this judgement!

Viewpoints Script Work (‘Buckets’ by Adam Barnard)

During the first day of our process we began exploring the view points as well as the ‘grey space’. The Grey Space was about finding a plain starting position from one another in order of being ready to explore the space by using different methods to form movement without looking for something or moving with a natural everyday expression of movement such as ‘Architecture’. It’s where we would find something such as being a blind or box and form ourselves into the object for moving around the space; although this was strange in the beginning I was self aware of how I looked when moving around and this was a predicament for me since It was making me wonder of what the others looked like when moving around and whether I was doing it correctly.

I found this challenging since it put me off regarding my focus however I would like to enhance this by exploring some self conscious exercises or possibly by challenging confidence and focus through doing a past method that I’ve done which was finding a space in the room and concentrating on it without being put off by anything else.

It didn’t in the beginning however using it over the duration of my day’s, It steadily helped me to improve on my focus and independence instead of being concerned of how my partners looked within this activity and to have more self trust.

We also looked at ‘Kinetic Response with tempo and repetition’. It was with these that I found them much more easier to follow considering that ‘Kinetic Response’ came much more naturally upon reacting to others without pre-planning my response since it was sudden responses upon being blocked off whilst walking on the ‘grid’.

The ‘Grid’ felt rather peculiar due to the way we had to move which was only sudden turns with the whole body and as If we was walking on some type of lines that was connected to loads of other strings as If it was a spider web but made out of loads of squares.

I found this method to be very helpful for when it was coming concentrating on my own space without acknowledging other people unless we was about to collide therefore focusing more clearly on when to turn and to stop.

We then within the long run after studying and rehearsing our shakespeare scenes began to looking into ‘Buckets’ and learned about atmosphere’s and what creates them. I wasn’t so sure about the idea of how it was done.

It was then when we was put into groups for working together to express ‘atmospheres’ but not with our faces, It’s more to do with creating a feel for it with how we are expressing our bodily actions instead of just pulling the facial expression; although this was interesting I found it slightly difficult since I’ve had issues of pulling the wrong facial expressions before during a performance which made me assume that I might’ve done so again, as this was to once again to do with ‘second guessing’.

I’ve been hoping to improve on my second guessing for a long while over the last terms performances since it’s what leaves me to overthinking and then impacts my physical performance as I would like to solve this issue through doing self trust exercises in my spare time and to do so, I am planning to do research into potential exercises done by actors to enhance my self trust.

I have improved on this by participating in other opportunities in my spare time that required me to do unusual activities that I wouldn’t have done such as independent work of moving props or helping with other needed parts.

It was then we began reading through the ‘Buckets’ scripts; although this took a vast majority of two sessions It was interesting to explore each script and to see what everyone’s opinion was on each scripts of who preferred what?

I found the monologue to be quite interesting for the way it was shown, It seemed to be an impressive speech which was quite dramatic; although I decided to do this in the end I did find learning or even breaking it down over the weekend tricky due to needing specific atmosphere’s to describe what’s being spoken and all I could find was ‘grief’. It was only then I realized that it would’ve taken me far too long to learn within such short period: so I swapped to doing ’10.Charity’ and the other one was to do with jumping out of an air airplane.

I sat down with my partner breaking down the atmosphere’s that would’ve matched ‘Charity’

My partner and me have chosen ‘Inviting, Stern, Open, Playful, Brooding and Playful: as our atmosphere’s which helped with making the performance more enjoyable as It also helped with developing the conversation and lines to have more of an impact turning it into one character outside needing donations for kids with chancer as he was supporting the cause and yet someone else comes along asking for donations in a rude abrupt manner by approaching people about it.

During our assessment day of performing this, It was rather sudden and instant with our lines and responses as well the airplane one I’ve been rehearsing; I was more satisfied with it due to it sounding more like people trying to shout to hear one another before jumping out of an open plane.

I wasn’t completely enticed with my actions as I sorta left them undeveloped, therefore am hoping to improve on these for next time. I would like to improve on my movement as I wasn’t sure whether the movement during the piece felt right for the atmosphere: The lines we’re delivered clearly with correct atmosphere’s, even though that the movement was off since I felt like I was basing it more off my reactions to the other person, yet wasn’t giving any in-depth reason of why I was moving.

I’ve looked over my overall performance and was rather pleased with the progression of understanding the atmosphere’s and how they’ve impacted the performance: I was hoping that If I had more time or decided my performance piece much earlier that I could’ve worked on it more.

I would’ve improved on projecting with a more distanced voice, as I was hoping to explore with various ways of using the viewpoints to affect the performance.
