What did you do?
In Stephen's lessons yesterday we continued what we had been doing in Neil's lesson the day before. In the first lesson we completed a few tasks that Stephen had set for us in order to get the basis of the padlet we had started up and running. In the second, practical lesson, Stephen had us add more movement to the piece. Considering the pieces were bas
How did you do it?
In the practical lesson we incorporated movement into our pieces by taking more time to go into our next moves and almost 'morphing' into the next parts. Each member of our group made sure to focus on their own parts and try and improve it with movement.
Why did we do it?
By doing these things, especially adding movement to our pieces, we hope to create more depth and dynamic not only for the audience we wish to perform it to but us, ourselves a s performers, as well.

Remember:
We watched 5 Soldiers
We discussed themes and ideas
We developed contact skills
We made Physical Training scenes

This picture interested me because it shows soldiers walking together however not in the same path. I interpreted this as regardless of soldiers being in the same regiment and of same status they are still leading different lives and still view things that happen to them as a team from different perspectives.
In terms of them is this.

- What 3 strengths do you have as a performer? Give an example:
One key strength I have as a performer is my presence on stage. I able to provide the audience with an intriguing perspective of the character I have been given to perform. Having a presence about a character is essential, however, some actors tend use this same presence to overstage other performers within the scene. This ruins the energy on stage.

- What 3 areas for development could you improve as a performer? What might you do to improve this?
One area for development is my punctuality to lessons. A way I can improve punctuality is by waking up on time.
Another area in which I could improve in is how I learn from the feedback I receive from both my classmates and the teacher. I need to learn to take in feedback and actually adhere to it so as to better myself as a performer.
I could improve in my confidence as a performer because I believe this is the one thing that hinders me as a performer and limits my ability to portray a characters full emotion to the audience.

- How well do you demonstrate professional practice?
I make sure I am always wearing my blacks to class which is required of me all of the time, even for theory lessons.

I've also learnt more about being a professional actor such as punctuality and attendance. Showing up is not only important but showing up on time is very essential.

These things apply to my work as when pursuing an acting career within the performing arts industry I have to carefully such things as how I am presenting myself whilst following safety guidelines such as long hair tied up etc. and also being aware of my attendance and punctuality at my chosen job.
