Before the three days of our audition, we were reading our scripts and doing a run-through of the play and Shan was picking us to read the characters of each scene and she picked me to read scripts of Marco, and as I was reading the scripts of the play I already knew that wanted to play Marco reason being is because his personality traits and as see some of me in him when me and whole class was doing the run-through everyone felt comfortable and everyone felt comfortable and knew what character they want to audition for. Three days after our run-through it was audition and how I prep was I picked a scene that I want and then I practice on it ten times with Esther and when it was our turn, we gave it everything we had and felt proud of our performance and eventually I got the role of Marco and I was proud of myself for the hard work that I’ve been putting into and the room was filled with friendly competition because everyone was fighting for the same role apart from so I guess I was a bit lucky

How it starts it’s that everyone is that everyone  huddling up and whilst I’m centre stage and I was sleeping in my sleeping everyone once having a conversation about kicking me out of the friend group and the camp because of what happened last night as soon that their conversation was over, they picked Oduro to wake up and wake up but as he was trying to wake me up Ignored him  but when he got fed up he dragged me around for me to wake up wake up which I eventually did and everyone was telling me that they want me out of the friend group and the at the start I’m a bit confused and I try my best to forgive me but at the end of the scene I get frustrated and  I cuss out the whole group

Augusto Boal was a Brazilian theatre practitioner, Drama theorist and political activist. He was a founder of theatre of the oppressed, a theatrical from originally used in radical left popular education movements.

While working at the Arena Theatre in São Paulo, Boal directed a number of classical dramas, which he transformed to make them more pertinent to Brazilian society and its economy. Among these plays was John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, known in Brazil as Ratos e Homens. This was Boal's first performance as a director at the Arena Theatre of São Paulo. Critics acclaimed this piece and Boal won the Prêmio de Revelação de Direção (Direction Revelation Award) from the Association of Art Critics of São Paulo, in 1956. In the early sixties, the ratings at the Arena Theatre of São Paulo started to drop, almost causing the theatre to go bankrupt. Consequently, the company decided to start investing in national theatre (pieces written by Brazilian dramaturgs) as a move that could possibly save it from bankruptcy. The new investment proved to be a success, opening up the path for a national theatre scene. Boal then suggested the creation of a Seminar in Dramaturgy at the Arena Theatre, which was quickly implemented and soon became a national platform for many young playwrights. Many successful productions were born from this Seminar and now form part of the Arena Theatre of São Paulo's nationalist phase repertoire. One of these productions was Chapetuba Futebol Clube, written by Oduvaldo Vianna Filho in 1959 and directed by Augusto Boal.[6]

IN this rehearsal we tech the beginning of scene 1 and I'll admit it was. a bit stressful because we had to keep stopping to figure the placemnt of the lights and when lighting director turn the lights on and off

# data[].attributes.body
Last week monday was the day of our tech rehearsal and while shan was busy getting the props for our play me and the rest of the class was going through our lines from the begginning all the way to the end. after going through our lines shan then brings us on stage and we was doing the beggining scene of the play and i'm not gonna lie it was fustrating because lighting director kept stopping the scenes wich is understandable because they need to know what cue to put some certain stuff in. During the tech I was struggling a bit because although I know the beginning and my lines in my second scene I was struggling with my middle because one thing about when I remeber things it immadatley goes away

# data[].attributes.body
This tech run was really intense because we we was doing it from 9 o'clock all the way until 5pm and we both our breaks were about 15 minutes and after that we go back into reharsal. I'll admit the tech run was such a disaster reason is because in my opinion everyone know their lines it was the cues that was missing and everybody was all over the place

# data[].attributes.body
and tuesday the 20th was the day of the play of the play and before that day I was going over my lines at home and the more I kept on repeating it the more I felt comfortable going over and although I know I've learned my lines I felt like I missed something and that led me into learning my scripts at midnight

# data[].attributes.body
The day of the play I everyone's was gathering over to the green room and we was going over our lines before getting into rehersals. And 2 hour's before the play started we was doing a runthrough from the begginning until the end when I tell you it was such a disaster during the begginning part everyone apart from me and oduro knew the beginning so I had no choice but to improvise the whole scene and say a whole bunch of stuff and on top of that everyone was missing their cues and It got to the point where I felt like the play is gonna be worse than our last one's

# data[].attributes.body
after reharsals were over we then went into break and me oduro and leo were going over our lines at mcdonalds before getting into the green room around 12 pm and after that we went into the green room and we was going over our lines again until we get it right

# data[].attributes.body
Then after that we get onto the stage and more energy and it made reharsals really fun and I think we did the begginning part way better than the other one's and all others scene was perfect there was one scene in pacticular with that I was struggling with and that's middle part reason being is becuase I don't slow down my lines and whenever I'm saying the lines I'd feel anxious or not cofindent at alll

# data[].attributes.body
after rehearsals were over we then gather backstage and say our litte prayers and the nerves was all over the charts. and our first performance that we did for the college was really good I felt everyone came through for each other through each scene and made the audience really enjoy it.

# data[].attributes.body
After our first performance was finished shan got me and sarai to work on the middle part of the play reason being is because I forget some of my lines and I'm always rushing through my lines and the level 3 gave me some advice and made me put that into my acting and gain more confidence

# data[].attributes.body
and then our second show was the best one to ever date probably even better than our last performances we've ever during the scene with me and sarai evreyone loved our chemistry with one and another and made the audience laugh

# data[].attributes.body
I felt reallly proud of my performance reason being is because I stepped out of my comfort zone and i felt we felt like we all understand one an another

# data[].attributes.body
I'll admit I thought the play was gonna be ten times worse but we as a class managed to pull through and made an incredible performance

Importance of pratical skills and presentation

# data[].attributes.body
Practical skills are wide range of abilties crucial for both performing and technical aspects of theatre production. these skills include communication,teamwork, problem-solving,time mamnagment, adaptability and creative thinking. for performers , this might involve voice projection, movement,emotional expression and the ability to take direction.

Practical skills help an actor by enhancing their ability to perform effectiveley and bring the characters to life.

For example a professional actor that I know that used practial skills in a scene is an actor name rudy pankow he used practical when doing a scene with another professional actor maddison bailey where he dies in the final episode and improvised the line wich made the scene really emotional.

The practical skills that I used in the middle scene was improvisation,communication, and teamwork.

I feel like my stregnths is improvisation because although I don't know my lines I know what goes on in the play

How I manage my rehearsal time is by coming into rehersals everyday and work on certain scenes that I was struggling and then after rehersals i'd go home work on all my lines and I don't stop until I get it right and it motivated me to keep pushing even more further than ever before.Our peformance went really well probably one of our best performances that we did as a group, everyone's really committing and coming to step whenever the person is struggling with certain and I felt like the more we did the scenes with each other the more people started to get more comfortable with eachother and understand eachother a whole lot more

I felt like I exucted my role very well and I got people to see what I'm all about as far as who my character's is all about and it made people love and making me gain my respect from everyone in drama course. Before my scene I was really nervous because there was this scene I was struggling and I was worried that if I don't get this down the play would be terrible but luckily although I didn't know some of my lines I already know what was going and it made and sarai improvise some lines without the audience seeing our mistakes and made the scene really funny. I feel like with me and sarai's teamwork and chemistry it got the audience really engage with our scenes and maintain there intrest with both of our character's. I effecteviley convey my emotions and my intentions with this character, During me and sarai scene there was good with me and my partner Sarai reason is because everyone was loving our chemistry and hoe both of our characater's came to life and it got to the point where I was able to let go of the stress I was feeling and go onstage and perform with a lot of confidence on stage and got me to feel a lot free with myself and forget what people said and just go with the flow.

Thanks to me and Sarai's improvisation with some scene's we was able to make the audience laugh making them see our chemistry with one another and making us effectively with the audience.

I feel like with my strength is that whenever I forget some of my lines I know what goes on in the scene and that leads me and the whole class improvise some of the scenes and make it unnoticeable with really well

Heiner Muller was a German dramatist, poet, writer essayist and theatre director. His enigmatic, fragmentary pieces are a significant contribution to postmodern drama and post dramatic theatre.

His relationship with the East German state began to deteriorate however with this drama Die Umsiedirin( the resettled woman)

which was censored in 1961 after only one performance. The East German government remained wary of muller in subsequent years, preventing the premiere of Der Bau(construction site) in 1965 and censoring His Mauser in the early 1970'S . Yet despite these hardships, muller's work began to gain popularity both in West Germany and internationally at this time. many of his best plays from this period were premiered in the west: this includes Germania Death in Berlin, which was first performed in 1978 at the Munich hammerspile . Heiner Müller directed a production of The mission (Der auftrag)

in Bochum 1982. In Paris, jean jourdhell directed the world premiere of Die hamlemashine in 1979. English traslations, first by Helen fehavery and Marc silbermen,

then Carl Weber, introduced muller to the English speaking world in the late 1970's

1. was pushing Ricky premeditated?

When doing the scene I think that it was wasn't I Think Marco was trying to prove a point and then panicked once tamer and jess got up.

2. Is Marco intending to scare Ricky, without intending to kill him?

Yes reason being is because in the beginning Ricky was being straight forward and whenever Marco is trying to plead with him Ricky ignores it and I think that got to Marco's head.

3. maybe Marco wants to say his peace and sees Ricky as rival: Absolutely Marco truly regrets everything he said and thinks about reconciling with the group but bare in mind Ricky is in that group that fustrates Marco whevever he sees his face

4. Does Marco want to re-join the group?

yes he does he even said himself when speaking to nosh about the group and how much he really misses the group.

5. Is testing the rest of the group to see if they'll rescue Ricky?

I don't think so Marco pushed Ricky so quickly tamer and jess barley even had enough time to react.

6. Is Marco motivated by the humiliation of being found semi-snaked, which terrible for a teenage boy?

Yes because when Marco was half naked he came to the realisation that if Ricky hadn't kicked him out he wouldn't be in that position and also makes him think that he's being chucked out for nothing with then leads him into trying take Ricky out

7. At the start of the play Ricky drags Marco in his sleeping bag, is this a tit for tat?

yes because Ricky did drag him in the Marco in the beginning so that lead Marco trying to get Ricky back for what he did
