I think I one of my strengths was being able to portray Chadwick in a natural way and not try to be to big and over emotional for a character who is meant to be disconnected and numb, I feel like one of my weaknesses however was that I was unable to fully get into character when I needed to at certain parts of the process. I think some of the reason for this was that there was a lot of uncertainty in the weeks before the performance which shook our performances bit. I feel like my best performance as Chadwick was probably the Wednesday matinee because I was a lot more comfortable on what I was doing and was able to really get into character for the show. In the first show I thought I wasn't timid enough in the beginning so I made sure that in the coming performance I look and acted a lot more frightful at the start of the show.

I personally think that everyone in the cast put on some incredible performances given all the obstacles that were in our way , we each came up with our own interpretations of a characters and were all able to make the piece flow really well. I personally really enjoyed punk rock and even though it was a very stressful experience and I'm glad it's over I am going to miss this show and the class I performed it with very much

The rehearsal for this show took place over a 9 week period in which we all rehearse as a whole group, this was really helpful as we were able to help and give people ideas while they were interpreting there characters. For this show the class attendance was not very good, for a show like punk rock everyone needs to be there in order for it to flow and work, this also effect the team atom sphere we were trying hard to preserve in the group.
I feel like my line learning for the most part went really well, however due to me poorly planning my time I was unable to do one of my speeches without my script with really frustrated me given that I knew all my other lines and that I was unable to not totally perform it the way I wanted to.

Chadwick for the majoring of the show is in a very dark head space, this was something of a challenge for me as I try to stay up beat and positive however Chadwick was far far different so it was a challenge for me to tap into some darker feelings safely and not let them effect me after a rehearsal was finished. Throughout the process I was always trying to figure out the best way to portray Chadwick, at first I wanted to play her as quiet timid but able to become more powerful when talking something she cared a lot about, I however realize that this conflicted with Chadwick story and arch so I decided to go with a more timid and reserved Chadwick who is very fearful of the world around till she finds her feet in one of the last scenes of the show.

I feel I like all my peers performances were really committed and natural, I feel like we all jump off of each other really well and we're all able to create really rounded performances. One of my first notes from my director was to not make Chadwick the typical geek you see in most American tv shows and films, I had realised during the rehearsal that I wasn't performing entirely the way I wanted to and I was soon able to rectify what I had done wrong and adapted it to what I wanted to do.

The majority of Chadwick blocking is the same throughout the piece , I like to think what this because Chadwick is very set in her ways and doesn't like being where she is not familiar, hence why she stays clear of the Centre of the room when her peers are around. I wanted to try and make Chadwick as relatable and as endearing as possible, I wanted people to look back into there life and see if the think they have ever known a Chadwick and how they may have even Chadwick if they were in their Chadwick peers situation. One of  my contributions to the show was to try and show just how detach Chadwick was from the people around her and try do this by detaching myself from all the other actors on stage and making sure I was as far away from them as pos

Chadwick Meade

Gender: female
Age: 17

Family life: Chadwick has a mother and farther and from what we can from the play her homelife  is rather unpleasant. This gives me the impression that they do not care about how drepressed she is and have no concern for her welfare. One of the biggest pressure I Believe her parents give her is to be successful, if she's not they aren't interested in her. Because of this Chadwick is almost constantly revising and stressed from the exams.

Personality: Chadwick is extremely clever and is extremely passionate about the things she is knowledgeable about. She is however extremely timid and try's her best to stay under radar when around Bennett. Chadwick also admitted to being sucideable and Holds those thoughts with her for the majority of the play.
