Things that went during our rehearsal were we were all here for rehearing and all managed to fit in extra rehearsing time aswell as a group. We were all good at listening to everyone’s ideas and adding in things to our play that came from everyone so overall we all had a massive input in the performance, our blocking went well and we all toke the time to come up with blocking and movement together as a group and also all helped with props as well. Our group got on so well and we also fun along the way for example we painted canvases as a group for part our props which was a very fun way for doing props as we got to make them ourself which made it feel more special for the performance.

Challenges we faced, I feel like our group didn’t face any challenges except for one as a group which was my passing out as that was a worry for me and my whole group. As a collective we had to think of different ideas to do if it was to happen on the day of the performance. This helped as I felt supported by my group.

A challenge I felt as an individual was I felt like my confidence was knocked a bit at the start of project 3 as i had just found out I wasn’t going to be getting into HN so that pushed me back a few steps but throughout the project my group was there to help and guide me so I felt more confident in what I was doing.

Research we did for our project was we went to the national art gallery to get inspiration from the paintings, we also got inspiration just from being in the art gallery as that’s where our performance was set and we also took inspiration from statues in the gallery that me and other group members played as.

Changes we made to refine ready for performance was we took out all swearing our group had expect for Ben because he was the main character and it worked well with the character Ben played, we added paintings that we painted ourself on canvases to give it more of a feel to being in an art gallery, we took out the elbowing scene due to heath and safety and other group members getting hurt due to it and we added a whole ended that wasn’t in the script which was a dance battle which we felt really added and made the ending way better.

I think the final performance went well and was the best one we done as it was in front of a bigger audience. For me if had to compare the dress rehearsal and the final performance the final performance went so much better for me, as in the dress rehearsal I forgot a massive chunk of my lines and I instantly didn’t know what to do that I froze up but after the dress rehearsal I kept going over and over the part I forgot that I ended up managing to do it for the final performance.

Feedback we received from the stager through that helped with our final performance was we got told that cause our performance was humorous we had to make sure we kept on it and not to take big pauses so we had the audience engaging and laughing throughout it all.

Strengths in the final performance were improved a lot and done a whole lot better just a few hours after the dress rehearsal, we managed well with interacting with the audience getting someone up from the audience and managed to give the audience something to enjoy and laugh their whole way through our performance. Areas for further development I’d say running lines more frequently as a lot of us struggled to remember our lines but we done will managing to do improve if we forget in any way so no one in the audience would have realised.

this was the elbow scene we had to remove as in this video you can see one of our group members getting knocked over

My personal successes within the project id say my vocals I was much louder and gave it my all for my parts in the performance I had to raise my voice in especially in our final performance. I done so much better in this project at sharing my ideas and also helped with props which I enjoyed doing so much.

Skills I have developed was how to deal with stage fright, I really enjoy performing and enjoy being out on the stage but I struggle with stage fright and don’t know how to deal with it. I was brave enough to ask one of my lecturers who then gave me great advice on how to deal with stage fright. She told me to focus on breathing which is a main one but other ones she suggested was pretend your a superhero with a cape to make it out your powerful and not scared she also said to imagine your this really tall massive person and everyone your performing to are ants and you can’t see them. All that advice really helped cause it made me imagine that everyone in the audience were that small I couldn’t see them but they could still see me.

Skills I would like to develop further are better way of learning lines wether that’s learning it scene by scene and not all at once, one of my production roles was props and I got to paint canvases for props which I really enjoyed next time I would like to be able to make props again but learn how to make them bigger and better.
