TASK 1 - MONOLOGUES (SARA)

Each create and devise a monologue (between 1-4) that is is 1-3 minutes long, with the stimulus being Lockdown. 

My monologue was entitled 'Countdown' and I decided to base it around the mental health difficulties during lockdown, and how it feels to be trapped in isolation. I wanted to do a dramatic monologue as I haven't really delved into this genre yet, and I felt this was a good opportunity to.

TASK 2 - PHYSICAL THEATRE DEVISED PIECE (HANNAH)

Hannah gave us a physical theatre task. The stimulus for this was also lockdown. We had to devise our own physical theatre piece, to any music we desired and that fitted. Mine shows how everyday is a repeat of the same thing and how days feel like they're merging into one and it's quite a blur because we aren't doing anything, and how it feels like we're robots with no purpose.

TASK 3 - REPLICATION SCENE (KANE)

For this task I decided to choose a scene from the show Skins (UK). I chose to film Cassie Ainsworth's therapy video diary. I chose this scene as I was drawn to it, due to the way it was filmed and performed. I found it intriguing and very beautiful. 

The feedback given to me off Kane was this: 

- The movement that you use within the performance is suitable and accurate to the source material.

- Your vocal performance also does a good job of expressing the confusion the character is feeling. It varies and develops throughout the performance into the two separate states that the character finds themselves in. Your pronunciation is good and very clear to understand.

- The emotion that you used in your voice is a very good start but I think that you are missing something in terms of the instability of the original performance. You seemed quite level headed and strong in your own rendition, whereas the original had a fragility about it, as if the character didn't truly understand why she had those opinions on the things she loved and hated. A little more work on this and I'm sure you can get it.

- Facial expressions are also strong and evolved throughout the performance, they gradually change with each different subject and are motivated by the lines that are said. Same as with the vocals, I think you're missing some of the instability and uncertainty here but that could be worked on with more time. 

- The tones in your voice are good and varied. They add depth to your performance and make it very believable and gripping for an audience. 

- Your framing was also good and gave us a clear view of your performance. If you were to choose a different performance in the future that required your body language to be more visible, make sure you frame with slightly more of your torso in the shot.

UAL PRINCIPLES OF PERFORMANCE - OPENING DOORS

Welcome to my evaluation of my time spent working on ‘Opening Doors’ a production by Keith Badham, who is along with being a writer, a director and performer. Badham’s work is rather relatable and connects to an audience, as he portrays realistic occurrences in life, and sometimes tabooer and niche subjects. This show follows many different stories of individual characters; wavering from birth to death, and everything in between. Scripts for this performance were given out on the 17 th of September and it really pushed our class to work as an ensemble. As a whole, this piece lasted approximately 20 minutes- though we did spend over a month devising and perfecting it. Rehearsals during college would run all week, from Monday through Thursday and often we would stay back after college hours and rehearse. TASK ONE- WARM UPS As an actor, you need to ensure you are fully prepared for your performances. To do so, warmups help put you in the right headspace- along with physically warmi...

PRODUCTION DIARY - THE WITCHES

  WEEK ONE MONDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER Today I started off the day by waking up bright and early and making my way to college...finally, after some long, long months of summer we are back at Stockton Riverside and I have never been more excited to leave the flipping house! I walked into our usual home, Dance Studio 2 and I was met by the faces of the new first years. It was really overwhelming in a sense as I just got so used to the old second years, but its time for a fresh start. I went over to my fellow second years and we started to mingle with the first years, they all seem really lovely and they're rather brave, I definitely didn't have the courage to speak to the second years when I was in their shoes. We kicked off the day by Kelly telling us to walk around and talk to each other and mingle. We spoke to the first years and asking each other questions, just a general introduction. I have to say, they are really lovely and seem like a good group of kids so far. We then started t...

LIKE THERES NO TOMORROW - NATIONAL THEATRE CONNECTIONS

DOCUMENTING THE JOURNEY (PRODUCTION DIARY) 8TH MARCH 2021 Today was our first official day back into college after the 3 month Covid Lockdown period. This was very exciting as it has been difficult working from home and online. Upon arrival, we had to be taken into the second building as college to have our Covid tests completed. It was a bit chaotic as we had to register and fill in forms but the process was done carefully and professionally. This was actually my first covid test and it was nowhere near as bad as I imagined. Thankfully, our whole class received negative results and we could go on with our first day! Since today the Year 2's weren't in (as their tests have been scheduled for Tuesday) Kane had us play an array of games and do some fun practical tasks, as Year 2 are needed for the performance. The games we played were:  splat, wink murder, three truths and a lie and change the action.  SPLAT is a fun warm up activity which gets everyone involved. There is a '...
