At the end we thought that as an end result we want a performance which would look nice and pretty, while at the same time make it understandable for the audience that our performance is about a girl being cyber bullied by someone and at the end the girl being bullied kills herself due to the other people constantly bullying her, we did that by using the skills we learned in the past lessons (using our body language properly, use big gestures but not too big so it would still look natural and overall physicality) .]]> 2019-02-02 12:28:53 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/326948227 barbara_morais https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/327416376 𝓣𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼 𝓽𝓸 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓴 𝓸𝓷

• The audience was able to spot where and what we were using as the personal and cultural experience, which I explained before on the artistic intention, it is cyber bullying.

• They liked the way we used to show the messages between me and Emma;

• The story line was clear (even though we only showed the start of the performance);

• Liked the use of stage, because we used a most o the stage, and also the fake walls;

• Likes the use of the fake wall to transit from one scenario to the other and also to change masks as a back stage.

We improved that by creating more scenes in which Sanshray and Iceman were on with the mask, so far we already made a part of Sanshray with the mask on, that scene starts when me and Tom go backstage after he gets pushed by Emma. While me and Tom are there, Emma is playing as Emily and she is asking Sanshray (playing as Ratu the hacker) to hack into my social media account and post something bad or embracing and also to text people as me being mean, while that is happening Iceman is playing as the narrator, asking them questions and narrating details, which the audience wont get just by using body language, for example a number (if Emma puts three fingers up the audience won't know if she means three or thirteen or even thirty). 

We started working on Iceman's mask time part and this is what we got. Iceman will play as the principal and he is concerned about me and Emma, at this part Tom will be in backstage and Sanshray will be narrating this part of the story.
We have been thinking of ways to make Tom use the mask more, because now he hasn't had much of it.
Another idea we had was while me and Emma texting we could keep on going back and forward, we though that would be a nice way to show how all of that lead to Lucy (my character) to be depressed, and we also found a new way to narrate our story, we are going to use flash cards to show something that our characters won't be able to show clearly just with body language.]]> 2019-02-11 16:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/329962726 barbara_morais https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335594334  The affect we are hoping the audience to get is that at the start to feel bad about the the girl being cyber bullied and mad at the girl bullying her, but at the end we want the audience to learn and see that it is not good to bully someone even if you don't like them or that they did something to you.]]> 2019-02-26 19:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335594334 barbara_morais https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335598428 Emma=Emily (will narrate)

We are going to do that by in the first scene having Lucy and Emily texting, and Emily starts calling Lucy names making her feel bad. To show that Lucy is feeling sad I have to make myself look small and look down, so I will look like the stereotypical sad character. After Lucy and Emily text we will have a flashback scene when we get to know what happened to Emily for her to feel the need to bully Lucy.
We also made the scene where the audience gets to know what happened to Emily to make her not like Lucy. We are thinking that Emily's boyfriend would be Thomas, and Thomas decides to cheat on Emily with Lucy, but the problem is that, Lucy doesn't know that Emily was dating him. After Emily and Thomas go on a date, and Emily leaves the scene, Thomas will got to another date with Lucy. Thomas's problem is that Emily saw them both in a date, but Lucy didn't see Emily which then will connect to the text for Lucy to be confused. We think that so far we are doing good since the things we have for the start of the performance all connect to our artistic intention.]]> 2019-02-26 19:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335600361 barbara_morais https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335609726 After every group performed, at the end of the lesson, we didn't have much time to talk about the feedback that we got and how we could use it to make our performance.

So far we have that right after Tom gets pushed my Emma, we move the boards, (so the audience can see that we changed the place we were in the scene) and Sanshray become the hacker, Emma will go to him and ask if he could hack into Lucy's account and post things, I think that this show's really well our personal cultural experience, because almost every school has that one girl who would do anything to bring someone down.]]> 2019-02-26 19:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335612494 barbara_morais https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335639789 this lesson we performed our whole performance, in front of another group and got feedback and yet again we need to practice on our positioning and our narration, I think that we will just get better at it when we practice.I think we are almost ready, we just need to practice more so it will look better when we narrate it.]]> 2019-02-26 20:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335639789 barbara_morais https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335640608

Iceman has to improve his narration;

• Tom has to stop facing his back to the audience;

• The narrator has to stop moving so much, otherwise people would look at him instead of the people with the masks;

• Body language was good;

• The story line was clear.

I still think ]]> 2019-02-26 20:52:43 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335641416 barbara_morais https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335813514 During this lesson we thought an end for our performance, we changed a lot since the starting idea, we did that, because we want the ending too not be as sad and also, because we want to give the idea that killing yourself is never a good option. Our ending is going to be that Emily and Lucy end up good friends and now Thomas is the one that is being bullied,we want the audience to think that it is not okay to bully or cheat on someone knowing what it could do to the other people, so that is why at the end Lucy and Emily are bullying Thomas. The other lesson we were just printing out some of the texts and the recordings.]]> 2019-02-27 10:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335813514 barbara_morais https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335814514 We also have an idea f how we want the story to go, we are thinking that at the start we can show texts of both of the girls, then when more people find out that one of the girls is being bullied also bully her until at the end the girl decides that it would be better to go to the principal to see if he could do something about it, but then she regrets it, because it gets worst, at the end we are thinking of the girl being bullied to kill herself, (as an original way of narrate we would put that in the news of the school saying that a girl killed herself) so after she does that we go to our last scene which is we see all the people that bullied her walking, looking sad,angry,and also guilty, that will show that they are feeling bad, at least that is what we are hopping the audience to think that. We are going to do that by making them look down and walk slowly and lastly also to make themselves look small.]]> 2019-02-27 10:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/335814514 lmalone7 https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/357085757 Overall you have some good points and clear development. You must remember to connect the decisions made to your artistic intention and give reasoning for doing something or even not keeping certain aspects. You should also explain things that you don't keep as that is part of the exploration of ideas (the criterion). ]]> 2019-05-06 08:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_morais/7s1an7iweo70/wish/357085757
