For women, the iconic style was the bob haircut, where the hair was cut short and often worn with finger waves or curls. This shorter hairstyle was a symbol of liberation and the changing roles of women during that time. Another popular hairstyle was the Marcel wave, which featured soft, deep waves that framed the face. Men's hairstyles were typically shorter and more conservative, with slicked-back or parted hair being common. It's fascinating how hairstyles can reflect the fashion and societal changes of a particular era.]]> 2024-05-22 07:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ellaliyah/q5ldp8jeqswtv07n/wish/3002998744 Most importantly we had fun🥳. ellaliyah https://padlet.com/ellaliyah/q5ldp8jeqswtv07n/wish/3003006650 Having fun while acting and rehearsing for a performance is incredibly important because it brings joy and enthusiasm to the process.

Me and my replayed theatre team arrived at 10 am and started rehearsing right away. From 10 am to 1 pm, we rehearsed without costumes, focusing on the movements and blocking while wearing our shoes. After lunch, we continued rehearsing, but this time with costumes and lights, which must have added a whole new layer of excitement and realism to the scenes. I kept up this routine every day until I reached the end of the script, perfecting every aspect of the performance. ]]> 2024-05-22 07:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ellaliyah/q5ldp8jeqswtv07n/wish/3003017329 The kays & The carols . ellaliyah https://padlet.com/ellaliyah/q5ldp8jeqswtv07n/wish/3003018299 ! In "Time and the Conways," Kay Conway is a central character who undergoes significant changes throughout the play. We see her portrayed as both the older and younger Kay, representing different stages of her life.

Younger Kay, depicted in Act 1 (set in 1919), is full of hope and dreams for the future. She is an optimistic and vivacious young woman, eager to explore the world and make a difference. Younger Kay is portrayed as someone who believes in the possibilities of life and is excited about what the future holds.

On the other hand, older Kay, shown in Acts 2 and 3 (set in 1937 and 1939), is a more disillusioned and introspective version of herself. The passage of time has taken its toll on her, and she has become somewhat bitter and resigned. Older Kay reflects on the choices she made and the dreams she had, realizing that life hasn't turned out the way she hoped.

The contrast between the younger and older Kay highlights the impact of time and the disillusionment that can come with it. It also raises questions about the choices we make and how they shape our lives. The character of Kay serves as a reflection of the broader themes explored in the play.

During this period, i weren't assigned a specific character but instead played the role of an extra who had a significant amount of stage time. It was exciting to have such involvement in the production, even without a designated character.

Priestley, the characters would have worn costumes that reflect the fashion of the 1910s and 1920s. This time period was known for its elegant and sophisticated style. Women would have worn drop-waist dresses, cloche hats, and long strands of pearls, while men would have donned tailored suits with wide-brimmed hats. The costumes would have captured the essence of the era and helped transport the audience back in time. It must have been fascinating to see the characters brought to life through their period-appropriate attire!]]> 2024-05-22 08:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ellaliyah/q5ldp8jeqswtv07n/wish/3003044043 Inspiration from Suzuki method of acting training . ellaliyah https://padlet.com/ellaliyah/q5ldp8jeqswtv07n/wish/3003045768 https://youtu.be/MGQShNCoEpI?si=J2Yajjh7RTl0s8vV

When I played Dead Carol, I made sure to wear jazz shoes to stay light on my feet. It was important for me to focus on my walk, drawing inspiration from the Suzuki method of acting. By incorporating slow, gliding movements, it created a mesmerizing effect, especially when accompanied by the sound of church bells. The combination of these elements truly heightened the effectiveness of the scene.]]> 2024-05-22 08:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ellaliyah/q5ldp8jeqswtv07n/wish/3003045768 Time and the Coneways Jb Priestley. ellaliyah https://padlet.com/ellaliyah/q5ldp8jeqswtv07n/wish/3003048607

The Burnt City was about the fall of Troy and it was based on Greek mythology. there were gods and mortals. Punch Drunk presented that very well. It was set in a mysterious underworld. All those who played gods executed their roles very well it was very evident that they were high and mighty, they used levels to show status and proxemics between characters to show specific relationships, although there was very little dialogue it was very clear what was occurring, the movement was big and powerful. This immersive experience was one of the best I have seen it. In The Burnt City, a Strobe light with a siren sound was used and I thought together that was amazing because it got all the audience members panicking about what is next to come. The show began with a tour guide telling a story she then sent us off on our own and in the first room it was dark with a dim light over an artefact from Ancient Greek. As you roamed around their numerous doors, I was on edge. In the second room there was a projection of the underworld family tree that had Persephone in coincidence my character that I play and Hades as rulers at the top of the family tree. As I was walking around I realised there were many rooms ,some rooms were bedrooms or kitchens and some were just dark rooms but overall it was like a maze that was never-ending. The set design was so incredible. something that stood out to me the most was one of the bedrooms that had a shell-shaped bed with velvety material and blue carpet flooring. It conveyed the feeling as if you were under the sea and I thought that was fetching. Something that I thought was sufficient about the show is that all audience members had masks and there were many moments that we were in a round so it just felt as if there were just eyes on you. Across the board this was a very good show and the best thing was that the show repeated so I could follow one character the first time to see things from their view and and then the next time follow another character which was great because I got to see someone climbing and doing tricks up close . There was also many rooms to go in and just many different places of the city such as an arcade, a market , a restaurant , a flower shop there was many places to explore in this immersive experience .

• I saw the Great Gatsby , Great Gatsby is about the American dream & about love .

•Being apart of the great Gatsby was a brilliant experience, as soon as we came into the door everyone was in character and straight away we had to dance and already we was pulled in action, The actors shouted out the steps of the dance moves and as I was looking around everyone caught on quickly it looked like a real olden day dance party.

• The performance was really good and upbeat , the audience was engaged the whole time and the actors remained in character throughout all the way out of the building .

• I loved how the actors in greats Gatsby was talking in different areas of the room rather then main stage , so I took that on board and incorporated it so that when we present our monologues it’s in different corners of the room I feel it’s more effective that way.

This exercise helped us build nerves, confidence, and stronger projection skills for the stage.
