It was interesting to find this out about the man, along with being quite helpful in my research as it gives me more insight to how people precieved theatre and the arts itself back in those days, learning about the context of the Elizabethen era and understanding this man's inspiration for theatre in order to understand my own thoughts about the play and how to portray an old character such as Obeorn or Theseus in a modern day world.]]> 2022-04-23 17:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2154780353 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156349406 2022-04-25 11:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156349406 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156349513 With this source I've been able to learn more about theatre and the overall entertainment industry back in the Elizabethan era, reading over the rules and points of view both for and against theatres aorund London, on one hand most people quite enjoyed the shows and variety of different strange performances played at places such as the Shakespeare's Globe theatre where they would spend the morning, afternoon or evening laughing smiling and enjoying their time. On the other hand however, very religious people turned their noses up at theatre because they believed it to be a work of the devil that tempts people to sin or act out as ungodly creatures of the damned. This type of information ha helped me gain an understanding about how the theatre worked within those times, that it was not only filled with a variety of strange things held within each play but also how it has evolved over time and become something that nealry everyone can enjoy no matter who you are!

Furthermore the third article talks about Oberon's relationship with his right hand man Puck and how they are the only fairy we see who is on Oberon's side within this conflict, along with how they do his dirty work and follow orders down to the letter.

Knowing this has helped me define not only the kind of relationship these characters have together, but has also given me inspiration on how me and Rebecca's version of these characters have developed their relationship and how they act towards with one another, building a story between them and thus creating our own characters in the process both story and personality wise.]]> 2022-04-25 11:37:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156356529 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156361568 2022-04-25 11:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156361568 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156361682 These articles have given me insight on the history of fairies within the Elizabethan era and how Shakespeare had changed their viewpoints on them, as fairies were seen as monstrous creatures of an unholy nature told sometimes steal babies from their homes and replace them with changelings in their place, who's origins are unknown but are still considered very dangerous. However Shakespeare changed that when he made A Midsummer Night's Dream, and made fairies out to be playful creatures who merely liked to play pranks on humans whilst still retaining innocence and magic to their nature, this has helped in my progression of the show as it gives me insight on how fairies act with one another, being quite curious creatures of the mortal realm and sometimes even playing around with humans for either helpful intentions, or for their own amusement.]]> 2022-04-25 11:42:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156361682 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156385475 2022-04-25 12:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156385475 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156387141 2022-04-25 12:02:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156387141 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156387355 2022-04-25 12:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156387355 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2156388018 Reading this article has helped me further understand how a Shakespeare comedy works within both old and modern times, picking out what made them so funny to other people back in the 16th-17th century and then putting a more modern twist on it.

However like last week I'm still unable to find a specific person of interest that fits who I'm trying to make Oberon into, to take inspiration from in not only their actual person but also the kind of character they might play, therefore I am determined to find an actor who has played a monarch next week instead of an actual one.]]> 2022-06-05 20:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211515140 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211515615 2022-06-05 20:07:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211515615 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211516039 2022-06-05 20:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211516039 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211516952 2022-06-05 20:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211516952 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211517120 2022-06-05 20:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211517120 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211520157 2022-06-05 20:19:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211520157 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211520517 2022-06-05 20:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211520517 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211521388 2022-06-05 20:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211521388 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211521936 2022-06-05 20:23:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211521936 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211522071 The article and videos I've watched and read are examples of the famous UK actor Brian Blessed playing as his roles of Richard VI in Black Adder, Edward I in The Brice, Henry V in Armoured Ultimatum, Hamlet's Father in the 1996 film Hamlet, and King Lear in the play King Lear. These examples of so many different roles has helped me see the different ways a man of power and authority can act on so many different levels, Mr Blessed's performances being so full of energy and life are the perfect examples that I've needed to apply for my own portrayal of Oberon, with his levels of emotions alongside the power of his voice and mixed in with the joy yet somewhat cunning attitude his characters can have has become a perfect source for my own version of Oberon.]]> 2022-06-05 20:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211522071 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211522137 Week 8]]> 2022-06-05 20:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211522137 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211522446 The main part of this week's research has been about exploring my character Oberon on a deeper level, answering personal questions about himself that I've been having to answer and make up in order to gain a deeper understanding of who I am playing as. This has helped me by allowing my mind to think freely on who Oberon is to me, where he came from, who his parents were, how long he's been alive, his dreams, his fears, his goals, and so many other aspects that I've been able to think on and write down in order to truly understand who my character is and why he does what he does to not only Titania, but also the humans throughout the show.]]> 2022-06-05 20:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211522446 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211522505 2022-06-05 20:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211522505 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211522992 2022-06-05 20:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211522992 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211523369 2022-06-05 20:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211523369 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211523632 2022-06-05 20:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211523632 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211524985 2022-06-05 20:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211524985 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211525705 2022-06-05 20:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211525705 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211525788 The videos and articles listed this week are examples on the fictional married couple Gomez and Morticia Addams from the famous serious The Addams Family, these examples show the pair expressing their affection for one another trough either words or through actions with each other, furthermore the articles explain different reasons instances for when they are being this way and why they are one of if not the greatest pair of lovers on television and the silver screen. I've chosen this couple as inspiration for my portrayal my second character Theseus for the sole reason of his relationship with Hippolyta, after discussing with my friend/classmate Rebecca, who is playing Hippolyta and Titania, about their relationship and I found that being newly weds and how they act towards one another in our version of the show I've thought about how Gomez shows his love to his wife, with a fiery passion of love within his soul and a smile each time he sees Morticia is the kind of bond I wish to portray with Rebecca for the audience to enjoy and be drawn into, and Gomez Addams has been the main inspiration for this goal and I am confident that he will help me achieve it.]]> 2022-06-05 20:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211525788 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211525846 2022-06-05 20:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211525846 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211527398 2022-06-05 20:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211527398 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211527743 2022-06-05 20:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211527743 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211527883 These links have been my methods of learning to do a more posh English accent for my portrayal of Theseus, by showing/teaching me the proper pronunciations of verbs, words and certain phrases, it has helped me in defining the difference between how I act as Oberon and Theseus. By using this newly learnt accent for Theseus it shows to myself and the audience that compared to Oberon he is more regal in nature, though quite jolly and helpful towards his people he is still the king of his land, and therefore to me would have an accent of the Queen's English to help not only enhance my skills as an actor by doing a different accent compared to my normal voice, but also giving a small but clear difference between my two characters.]]> 2022-06-05 20:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211527883 ws226497 https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211532584 2022-06-05 20:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ws226497/sck489efg1w6wa0n/wish/2211532584
