I recently went on a trip to Victoria palace with my school to watch an outstanding play called the Hamilton. It was an amazing experience that showed me a lot of new things about acting skills and made me think about my future in drama. Each and every actor was motivated and so dedicated to the play that the emotions were so clear on their faces. The main character Hamilton showed a lot of facial expressions. The Hamilton is a musical and all the actors are all talented at singing and acting.

This is a verbatim play about the Hillsborough disaster. In the play it showed a lot of emotion like they were playing the character exactly how it was meant to be played. verbatim is all about creating the scene exactly the way its played and being accurate with the words that are used, and in this play the characters played the role by portraying a lot of  energy and exaggeration and put them selves in the real life situation to make it more real and interesting.

I recently went to visit Stratford east with my school to watch a play called The Unreturning Frantic Assembly. It was a great experience to see such motivation on the cast’s faces. There was use of exaggeration in there movement. The Unreturning was 3 stories intertwined together. One was about a man from world war 1, a discharged solider from Afghanistan and a refugee from 2026. The start of the play all three of the actors were on stage. the movement was remarkable they used a shipping container as there prop to make the play more interesting.
A lot of emotion took place especially when one of the cast was multi-rolling.( being a man and women).

This picture below is a scene from the play

Verbatim theatre is created from interviews and real life people, about events or a subject and those real life people are betrayed by actors on stage.
Verbatim theatre is like a documentary theatre because its like you are watching a biography of an incident that has taken place.
Directors say that they have to be very accurate for every word that is spoken from an event that they are piecing out. They use every word in the interview to make the story. its kind of hard and easy because u have to speak the way the people who are being interviewed speak every slang word they use or whatever language they speak in.

History:
The roots of Verbatim goes back a very long way. Examples of Verbatim plays would be The Bentley which is about the hearing of the house of unamerican activities in the states in the early 50s. There was various court trials of verbatim theatre that was performed.
there was another play in The Royal Court Theatre in the 1950s called 11 Men Dead this was about a outrage that took place in Africa.

Using Verbatim Theatre:
One of the problems with verbatim Theatre is how static it can be. One thing that Verbatim Practitioners should think about is how to bring it alive and make it more interesting to watch.

Frantic assembly to me is mainly about the physical movement taking place on stage the energy used within the actors and how simple they make It look. A lot of theatres use frantic assembly to combine music, art and many more together to make one amazing peace of Art in general. The frantic assembly helps actors show more enthusiasm and produce more energy and emotion while on stage.

In this picture below its shows a lot about the ability to produce an amazing peace and put a lot of work in it. The facial expressions and physicality is what physical theatre is and what Truely defines it is the audience because physical theatre is a peace of emotion brought out by the actors.

Racial prejudice  In the very first scene, Rodrigo and Iago disparage( regard or represent as being of little worth) Othello in explicitly racial terms, calling him, among other things, "Barbary horse" and "thick lips." terms that describe Othello as an animal or beast. In other words, they use racist language to try to define Othello not only as an outsider but as being less human and therefore less deserving of respect. Othello himself seems to have internalized this prejudice.

The role of women in Othello is that Desdemona symbolizes this beautiful wife. Her softness and passivity (acceptance of what happens) renders Othello's prize as well as being a tragic victim.
One of the key themes was betrayal which is definitely relevant in today's society and so is racism. Many people know that in Shakespearean time women were symbolized as an object to be played with and used. In Othello Bianca was used as a 'side-chick' to Rodrigo who was a villain and used Bianca to achieve his goal. this is common in today's society women are still used and symbolized in that way.

when we do chair duets we include another type of physical theater which is round by and through.
In this video, it shows every step to a perfect chair duet. The movement of your body is in control of your partner as well. When you are coming up with steps for your chair duets you will find it a bit hard because u have to stay connected with your partner.

Push hands:

Push hands are when you and your partner's hands are on top of each other and one of you are in control of the others persons hand in movement. It's good to add push hands to a play especially when doing physical theatre such as round by and thru because it is s good way to keep contact with your partner

Physical theater is about the movement in the body. Physical theater is anything that puts the human body at the center of the story.
We have been learning round by through. Round is when you go round your partner, by is you stand next to your partner and through is when you go through partner.
We have also been learning  Chair duets with our partners. Its an exercise that tells a story with moving your body on chairs and showing a lot of emotion and exaggeration.
In this picture it shows the emotions in the performers faces and how real the story looks.

the story Othello-Macbeth is based on two loving characters who would die to be with each other and betray their parents to be with their loving partner. Desdemona and Othello the two main loving couples played their role with empathy and emotion using one of stansilavski method of thinking about an emotional time and playing the character with their feelings. the theme of this play is mostly manipulation, jealousy and racial prejudice. jealousy takes place when one of the two main characters love was broken in to pieces by being manipulated by their best friend in to thinking the their love of their life cheated on them

Before attending the play i did some research and found this video of what Jude Christians intentions and inspirations were for the this piece. In this video it is shown how Jude christian is talking about how and why she presented the characters the way they were presented and why it is needed. she said how combining the two stories (Othello and Macbeth) it will let the characters think a different way about how the play ends and what it means to us today.

In good night Mr Tom I evaluated the characteristics of the main characters. Good night Mr Tom is a children's novel and is based on a boy called William beech who was evacuated from London to north England because ww1 was happening and he spent his time with Mr Tom Oakley. This boy was abused everyday by his mother and gets hit by a thick black belt which his mother sent with him to where he was evacuated in order for whoever he was getting looked after by to use it. Tom was a very generous man and he treated William as one of his own. Everyone in the village wasn't keen on giving William to Mr Tom but in the end William and Mr Tom created a bond that they didn't want to break. And Mr Tom would do anything to help William from getting hurt. This Story was quite emotional based on the fact that William had a  baby sister that died because she had nothing to eat or drink and the mother wouldn't do anything at all to help.

Stanislavsky work and performance skills!

# data[].attributes.body
The Stanislavsky method or system is a set of techniques used by actors to portray emotions on stage by putting themselves in the place of the character. Stanislavsky one said that " remember there are no small parts only small actors"

Stanislavsky invented a method that can make a speaker a charismatic one. Stanislavsky didn't want actors to overreact, he just wants them to be believable performers.
Stanislavsky always thinks about others ( audience ). When his actors are performing he watches the audiences reactions to what is going on on the stage to see weather they find it boring or just not enjoyable.

1. super-objective
2. stage action
3. suspension of belief

1. Goal
2. Fighting obstacles
3. Visual stories

Directors are the leaders of the theatre industry. They call the shots, they make the final creative decisions and they use their own innovative ideas to bring a script to life on the big stage. They control everything that is being put on stage if the director feels that there is something wrong with the play last minute they have control to change it up. Sometimes directors bring in all the actors in one day instead of the main actors. They do this because they know that if an actor is sick in the day of the performance they get each and every in elf those actors to memorise lines of the play. Also they do this so that an actor doesn't miss out a scene and think the play is finished.

This picture shows  when a rehearsal is taking place directors sit back and observe what is happening and what they should change up. Directors are very strict with their job because to them practice makes perfect and this phrase indicates that they are very observant to what is going on
